Conte Escapes Ban But Instead Pay £8,000 Fine

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will avoid a touchline ban after he was sent to the stands on Wednesday night for shouting in the face of fourth official Lee Mason and will instead accept a fine of £8,000 from the Football Association.

The Italian was ordered out of the dugout in the first half of Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Swansea City for complaining too aggressively to Mason at what he saw as time-wasting tactics by the away team.


He was charged with misconduct by the FA and should he accept the measure by the deadline of 6pm on Tuesday then he will only be fined the regulation amount.
