Men's Football Burnley boss Kompany handed touchline ban after Chelsea red card

BURNLEY boss Vincent Kompany has been handed a two-match touchline suspension after his red card against Chelsea last month.

Kompany was sent off from the dugout during the Clarets’ 2-2 draw at Chelsea on March 30 for his protests against a penalty decision which also led to defender Lorenz Assignon seeing red.

The Football Association confirmed in a statement Kompany must serve a one-game ban immediately with the other suspended until the end of the year, with the Belgian also handed a £10,000 fine.

“One match is to be served immediately, and one match suspended until December 31 2024,” the FA statement said.

“The manager admitted that his language and/or behaviour in the 40th minute of the fixture was improper and/or abusive and/or insulting towards a match official and/or questioned the integrity of a match official.

“An independent regulatory commission imposed his sanctions following a subsequent hearing.”
