Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday was charged £20,000 by FA for improper conduct and warned about his future behaviour.
The German manager admitted a FA charge of improper conduct following his comments after Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Tottenham in the Premier League matchday 2.
Tuchel suggested that the referee Anthony Taylor should be ruled out from refereeing his side future matches.
“An independent regulatory commission has ordered Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel to be fined £20,000 and warned about his future conduct for breaching FA Rule E3.1 during a post-match press conference on Sunday, August 14, 2022.” FA said in a statement.
“The manager admitted that his comments after their Premier League match against Tottenham constitute improper conduct as they imply bias, question the integrity of the match referee, and bring the game into disrepute.” FA added.
Tuchel was frustrated after Taylor made two difficult decisions against Chelsea, turned result in Tottenham goals in the London derby.
The referee refused to award a penalty for a foul on Chelsea forward Kai Havertz in the build-up to Tottenham’s first equaliser by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, whose shot was allowed to stand despite a strong case for offside against Richarlison.
Tottenham defender Cristian Romero was not given any card after dragging Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella to the ground by his hair despite a VAR review.
Tottenham manager Antonio Conte, and Tuchel were both sent off after the final whistle for fights on the touchline.
“Maybe it would be better. I don’t think that just some of the fans think that; I can assure you that the whole dressing room thinks that.” Tuchel said.
“Not only the fans. You know the players, they know what’s going on when they are on the pitch. They know it.” Tuchel added.
