Chelsea head
coach Maurizio Sarri has been charged with misconduct by the English
Football Association following his touchline dismissal in the 2-2 draw
against Burnley on Easter Monday.
Sarri was sent to the stands in
stoppage time during a fractious encounter at Stamford Bridge, although
assistant Gianfranco Zola felt the decision was harsh as his fellow
Italian “was just trying to tell our players to get in position”.
he FA has said in a statement:
“Maurizio Sarri has been charged with misconduct in relation to his
behaviour in the 94th minute of Monday’s (22/04/2019) Premier League
fixture between Chelsea and Burnley.
The Chelsea manager has until 18:00 on Friday (26/04/2019) to provide a response.”
In a separate incident, referee Kevin Friend is understood to have received a complaint over claims of racial abuse directed by members of Burnley’s backroom staff towards Sarri.
The alleged abuse aimed at Sarri
was included in Friend’s report in a tense fixture where David Luiz
squared up to Ashley Westwood during a tunnel melee at full-time.
