Thomas Tuchel gets one-match ban over his clash with Antonio Conte

LONDON: Thomas Tuchel has been fined 35,000 pounds and hit with a one-match touchline ban over his clash with Antonio Conte in Sunday's derby clash with Tottenham. Spurs boss Antonio Conte has also been fined 15,000 pounds after both managers admitted improper conduct in several touchline clashes in the 2-2 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge, reports DPA. Tuchel's touchline ban has been suspended temporarily though, allowing the Chelsea manager to take his place in the dugout in Sunday's Premier League clash at Leeds.

The German's ban has been given a stay of execution until the publication of written reasons from the independent commission that adjudicated on the punishments. Tuchel and Conte squared up to each other several times on the touchline in Sunday's London derby, with both managers being sent off at full-time. An independent regulatory commission has today ordered that Thomas Tuchel be fined 35,000 pounds and banned from the touchline for one match, and Antonio Conte be fined 15,000 pounds after they respectively breached FA Rule E3," read an FA statement.
