Tuchel handed suspended one-match ban while Conte avoids suspension after clash following Chelsea's draw with Tottenham
Baku, August 20, AZERTAC
Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have been fined by the Football Association (FA) for their conduct during the 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Tottenham last week, according to Goal.com.
The Blues boss has also been banned for one game, though that punishment has been suspended for the time being.
The two managers clashed more than once during the London derby at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Once on the touchline after Tottenham's first goal and then again when they shook hands after the match, resulting in both being shown red cards.
"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," a statement read.
"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 14 August 2022 was improper, and both managers requested a paper hearing."
The statement added: "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 decisions that will be made available in due course."
