Vincent Kompany, Burnley FC manager has been slammed with a two-match touchline ban and fined after being charged with misconduct following his protests in last month’s 2-2 Premier League draw at Chelsea.
The Football Association revealed this on Thursday.
“The manager admitted that his language and behaviour in the 40th minute of the fixture was improper and abusive and insulting towards a match official and questioned the integrity of a match official,”
Kompany was shown a red card for protesting against a penalty decision when Burnley’s Lorenz Assignon received a second yellow card for a foul, reducing the visitors to 10 men in the match at Stamford Bridge on March 30.
The 38-year-old Kompany was also fined 10,000 pounds ($ 12,537).
The Belgian will serve a touchline ban for the home game against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, with the second match suspended until December 31.
The FA said in a statement.
Burnley are second-bottom, six points from the safety zone with six games left this season.
