Arsene Wenger has been handed a three-match touchline ban and
fined by the Football Association over comments he made about
the refereeing of Sunday’s Premier League game against West
Brom.
In a separate case, the Arsenal boss has also been asked by English
football’s governing body to provide his observations on what he
said about penalty decisions that went against the Gunners in
both of their last two matches over the festive period, against
the Baggies and Chelsea.
“Arsene Wenger will serve a touchline ban for Arsenal’s next
three matches after he was charged with misconduct,” an FA
statement said.
“It follows an independent regulatory commission hearing today at
which the Arsenal manager admitted that his language and
behavior in the match officials’ changing room after the West
Brom game on Sunday was abusive, improper and questioned the
integrity of the match referee. He was also fined £40,000
($54,000).”
Earlier, Wenger said he was unrepentant over his comments about
penalty decisions against the Gunners.
“I maintain what I said in the press conference — 100 per cent,”
Wenger told reporters on Friday ahead of his side’s FA Cup third-
round match at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
“I try to serve this game with honesty and integrity and when I
have something to say I will say it.”
