Liverpool coach, Arne Slot has been handed a two-game touchline ban plus a 70,000 fine after his red card at the end of the Merseyside derby earlier this month. This means he will be absent from the touchline for Liverpool’s game with Newcastle on Wednesday night plus their next Premier League game at home to Southampton on March 8. Liverpool were informed of the FA’s decision on Tuesday. Slot was seen shaking hands with referee Michael Oliver after the dramatic 2-2 draw at Everton, with the Dutchman saying something to the official before he was shown a red card. The FA deemed that Slot acted in “an improper manner and/or used insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour towards both the match referee and an assistant referee after the match had finished.” The Liverpool boss admitted the charge. Slot’s assistant Sipke Hulshoff was also a straight red as well after the final whistle and has been given a two-match touchline suspension and 7,000 fine. The FA deemed he acted in “an improper manner and/or used insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour towards a match official after being sent off.” Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones was also shown a red card post-match, after picking up a second yellow when he clashed with Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure. Everton and Liverpool have also been given 65,000 and 50,000 fines respectively after their players “did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way following the final whistle”The post Liverpool coach Arne Slot handed two-game touchline ban and 70,000 fine following red card in Merseyside Derby appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.Liverpool coach Arne Slot handed two-game touchline ban and £70,000 fine following red card in Merseyside Derby
