Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has been banned from the touchline for a game and been fined 8,000 Pounds for improper conduct.
The Italian trainer was headed the punishment by the English FA ahead of the resumption of club football in the English Premier League.
The punishment stems from Maresca’s conduct in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Liverpool when Estevao scored a 96th minute winner that got the Italian to run over to the corner flag to celebrate with his players.
The celebration attracted a second yellow card for Enzo Maresca leading to his sending off mere seconds before the conclusion of the game.
“It was alleged that the manager acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/ or insulting words and/or behaviour during the fixture, which led to his dismissal around the 96th minute” a section of the official statement released the FA stated.
Chelsea are scheduled to take on Nottingham Forest in the EPL on Saturday, October 18 at 11:30 GMT; The Blues rank seventh in the league.
