Tuchel, Conte to be punished for misconduct

Following a 2-2 draw on Sunday, the Football Association on Monday charged Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur managers Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte.

The two coaches are accused of violating FA Rule E3.

Tuchel, Conte to be punished for misconduct

A portion of a statement read: “It is alleged that the behaviour of both managers was improper following the end of the fixture.

“Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have until Thursday 18 August 2022 to provide their respective responses.”

On Sunday, the two managers argued after Spurs twice overcame deficits to earn a point’s split.

Just prior to Spurs’ first equalizer, Tuchel signaled a foul on Kai Havertz and an offside on the goal, with Richarlison appearing to obstruct Edouard Mendy’s field of vision.

He and Conte got into an argument over his protest, and both coaches received a yellow card.

When the game was over, Conte and Tuchel went to shake hands, but the Chelsea manager wouldn’t let go of his opponent’s hand and gestured for him to stare into his eyes, which led to another brawl and the giving of both managers their marching orders.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
