Thomas
Tuchel has been handed a one-game touchline ban following his fracas with
Antonio Conte in the aftermath of Chelsea's draw with Tottenham.
The German has also been fined £35,000 by the Football Association for
improper conduct after breaching FA Rule E3, while Conte has been fined
£15,000 after both managers admitted improper conduct in a series of
touchline clashes in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel's touchline ban has been suspended temporarily though, pending the
full written reasons for the decision - allowing the Chelsea manager to take
his place in the dugout for Sunday's Premier League clash at Leeds, live on
Sky Sports.
Tuchel and Conte were involved in a series of altercations throughout the
fiery derby, with both managers squaring up before being booked during the
game and sent off at full-time by referee Anthony Taylor.
The FA's separate investigation into Tuchel's post-match media comments in
relation to this fixture remains ongoing.
"An independent regulatory commission has today ordered that Thomas Tuchel
be fined £35,000 and banned from the touchline for one match, and Antonio
Conte be fined £15,000 after they respectively breached FA Rule E3," an FA
statement read.
Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte were both shown red cards following their
angry altercation at full-time at Stamford Bridge.
"Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte admitted that their behaviour after the
final whistle of the Premier League game between Chelsea FC and Tottenham
Hotspur FC on Sunday, August 14, 2022, was improper, and both managers
requested a paper hearing.
"These sanctions are subject to appeal, and Thomas Tuchel's one-match
touchline ban has been suspended temporarily pending the independent
regulatory commission's written reasons for its decision that will be made
available in due course."
