Punishment for Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte – English Football association has published the punishment given to Chelsea Coach, Thomas Tuchel and Tottenham Hotspur Coach, Antonio Conte, after the 2 head coaches clashed more than once at Stamford Bridge on Sunday August 14, following the Blues’ 2-2 draw with visitors, Spurs.

 

 

After the football association sanctioned the 2 earlier this week, and gave them 48hrs to report and present their defenses, the football governing body placed on Chelsea boss, Thomas Tuchel a temporarily suspended one-game touchline ban and £35,000 fine while Tottenham coach, Antonio Conte was hit with a £15,000 penalty for the part they played in their touchline bust-up during the heavily heated game between Chelsea and Tottenham 

 

 

Tuchel and Conte who were already shown Yellow Card in the second half of the game, were red carded at full-time and then exchanged words as they shook hands, with the Blues boss blaming Conte over his refusal to look him in the eyes.

 

 

However, the FA’s independent regulatory commission, deemed Chelsea coach the guiltier party, thereby making him pay a bigger fine of £35,000 in addition to one-game touchline ban, compared to Conte who is only fined £15,000 with no other penalty/ban. An FA spokesperso,n who announced the Punishment for Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte, said:

‘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.

 

 

‘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.’

 

 

‘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.’
