Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been handed a two-game ban by the Football Association (FA) following his recent red card in a Premier League clash at Everton.
The Dutchman was dismissed for approaching and exchanging words with center referee Michael Oliver on the pitch after Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with the Toffees at Goodison Park on February 12.
After accepting a charge from the FA, Slot will now miss the league leaders’ home clash against Newcastle United on Wednesday night and the visit of Southampton to Anfield on March 8.
Furthermore, he has been fined £70,000 pounds by an independent Football Association commission.
Slot’s first domestic game back in the dugout will come after the international break when Liverpool face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup Final on 16th March at Wembley.
Meanwhile, assistant coach Sipke Hulshoff was banned for two games and fined £7,000, while Liverpool and Everton were fined £65,000 and £50,000 respectively for failing to control their players.
