Liverpool manager Arne Slot handed 2-match touchline ban for confronting match officials

LONDON (AP) — Liverpool manager Arne Slot was handed a two-match touchline suspension on Wednesday for his conduct toward match officials after the Merseyside derby against Everton.

Slot admitted to a charge that he “acted in an improper manner and/or used insulting and/or abusive words and/or behavior towards both the match referee and an assistant referee” after the 2-2 draw at Goodison Park on Feb. 12, the Football Association said.

The FA said Slot has also been charged 70,000 pounds ($90,000).

Slot was shown a red card for his post-match conduct and has since said he regretted his actions.
