Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have both been charged with violating FA Rule E3 following the Premier League game between Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC on Sunday, August 14, 2022, according to an FA spokeswoman.
“It is alleged that the behaviour of both managers was improper following the end of the fixture.
“Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have until Thursday 18 August 2022 to provide their respective responses.”
The FA is also looking into Tuchel’s remarks after the German coach criticized Taylor, the match referee, for his judgments.
Taylor and the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), according to Tuchel, made poor choices that allowed Spurs to leave Stamford Bridge with a point.
