Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has been slapped with a one-match touchline ban and a £35,000 fine for his fiery bust-up with Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte.
Sky Sports reports that the German will not be allowed to be in the dugout for the Blues' clash with Leeds United at Elland Road on August 19.
Tuchel and Conte were involved in a post-match altercation following the two London rivals' 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on August 14.
Conte has also been punished by the FA with a £15,000 fine although he will not be missing any action from the touchline.
The incident has since been played down by the Chelsea manager, who claims to have laughed off the situation:
“Of course, I laugh. I laugh in the dressing room because it was in the heat of the match. I think it was passion between two men who fought for their team and I hope they don't make more of it, in the context we had a hair pulling before.”
Leeds manager Jesse Marsch did not want to see Chelsea boss Tuchel on the touchline
Leeds manager Marsch said he would be disappointed to see Tuchel in the dugout for Sunday's game.
Pressed by reporters on the German potentially being allowed on the touchline, he replied:
That doesn’t seem right. I would be disappointed if that was allowed. A red card means you should not play the next match."
The former RB Leipzig manager continued:
"In theory, when the manager’s not there it’s an advantage. I know his assistant Zsolt Low well - he has a brilliant football mind and no doubt will help out from there."
“I have always assumed a red means the manager is suspended - maybe that’s the wrong assumption!"
The Peacocks boss has got his way, with Tuchel not being allowed to coach his Chelsea side from the touchline.

It is clear that FA are against Chelsea. They fail to destroy Chelsea when they chased our Russian men. Now they are looking for a ways to stop Chelsea progress.

You should know by now that most EPL referees are not comfortable with Chelsea successes story, they will stop at nothing, to frustrate the club progress this season. I see it to be organized, the EPL Board and Referees Association, which is dominated by Liverpool and Man U fans. Just wait and see, poor officiating during the I'll faithted match will go unpunished. The Coach on the side lines who offered, German hand shake to a fellow Coach, fined, banned, while the referee who approves pulling of a defenders to hair, is congratulated. Well, the World is watching.......

So what is the punishment of the ref and VAR controller who rob Chelsea of its victory? If there’s no punishment for them then FA is so corrupt and can’t be trusted.

am shocked to hear Conte has been fined by the FA what's his fault ? Conte didn't start it after all. Tuchel is an arrogant manager
Conte started it by yelling at Chelsea's bench after Tottenham equalized. Did even watch what happened or you're just yapping like a chick

For me this is why I support Diego Simone the AT. Madrid Coach for not shaking hands with Clop saying the hand shake is fake.

English FA isn't a serious institution, why will two man have commotion and one is banned from touchline and the other isn't banned. What also happened to so called refferie that unprofessionally handle that game. He should be change and fine too because his act was deliberate. These are some of the reasons English ref don't go for world 🌎 cup game because they are bias.

So why is Conte exempted from the ban with a small fine as well? What about the bias Referee whose name is 'TAYLOR ', as if he sew clothes in Nigeria? Yeye English FA, no wonder they have a Queen as a Leader!
