Thomas Tuchel charged by FA after Antonio Conte sideline spats

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has been charged by the FA for improper conduct during Chelsea’s game against Tottenham yesterday.

The German was involved in several spats with his opposite number, ending with a confrontation around their handshake at full time that turned into a shoving match on the sideline.

The statement from the widely-followed but un Blue Ticked spokesperson account on Twitter had broke FA Rule E3. We can expect a fine for both of them, and after their red cards, possibly games watching from the stands too.

Tuchel can appeal their decision – although it seems unlikely he would do so.

It still seems likely that he will be charged for his comments in the press conference after the game too, but there’s been no official word on that just yet.

His words about Anthony Taylor did not directly accuse him of corruption, but the suggestion that he shouldn’t referee further Chelsea games won’t go down well.

  1. Why haven’t Dean and Taylor been charged with bringing the game into disrepute both saw and allowed a clear case of violent conduct / assault on a Chelsea player and didn’t do anything about it .
    This is why managers get so worked up var is there to stop these kind of attacks.
    The F.A are burying their heads in the sand or they are totally incompetent.
    Referee’s need to be held accountable for their decisions
