Thomas Tuchel, the current head coach of Premier League club has been fined £20,000.

Tuchel 49-year-old German has also been warned about his future behaviour after admitting a Football Association charge of improper conduct brought as a result of outspoken comments made in his post-match press conference following the game at Stamford Bridge on August 14.

The FA statement read: “An independent regulatory commission has ordered Chelsea ’s Thomas Tuchel to be fined £20,000 and warned about his future conduct for breaching FA Rule E3.1 during a post-match press conference on Sunday, August 14 2022.

“The independent regulatory commission’s written reasons for this fine and warning will be published in due course.”

Tuchel’s emotions boiled over after a fraught Premier League encounter which ended 2-2 courtesy of Spurs skipper Harry’s Kane’s stoppage-time equaliser.

Tuchel has been fined for suggesting referee Anthony Taylor should not be allowed to take charge of the club’s matches in the future after a controversial derby draw with Tottenham.

The Chelsea head coach and opposite number Antonio Conte were booked following a melee on the sideline during the game, with the home side appealing in vain for a free-kick in the build-up to the visitors’ open goal as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg cancelled out Kalidou Koulibaly’s opener.

Recall he joined Chelsea in 2021 and won the Champions League in his debut season.
