Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has been charged with misconduct, the FA have confirmed.
Twitter: Antonio Conte has been charged with misconduct following his dismissal against Swansea City on Wednesday 29 Novembe… https://t.co/hIUpnTYoFa (@FAspokesperson)
The Blues boss was dismissed in his side’s 1-0 win over Swansea City on Tuesday night, as Antonio Rudiger handed Chelsea an all-important victory.
Conte was given his marching orders just before the interval having been judged to have excessively expressed his disapproval with refereeing decisions made during the game.
The Italian boss was pictured shouting at the fourth official throughout the first-half, along with referee Neil Swarbrick.
Conte does have the opportunity to appeal this charge, as long as he responds to the FA’s decision by 5 December at 6PM in the evening.
However, the Blues boss has since apologised for his conduct on the sidelines on Tuesday night, meaning it is unlikely that he will appeal against the charge.
