What can suspended football managers do?

Unusually after a fiery Merseyside derby at the beginning of this month there was no press conference after the match press conference with the Liverpool manager Arne Slot.

Captain Virgil van Dijk's only reaction from Liverpool came after the deputy was sent out in the last moments of the 2-2 draw.

It is even stranger that the Premier League was posted on Thursday morning the next day on their website that the slot will be banned for two games to use “offensive, insulting or misused language” before removing. In view of the Football Association (FA), this was premature with disciplinary matters.

The correct procedure is the incident.

And this decision was announced today (Wednesday, February 26), with Slot presenting a two-sided touchline ban that misses him and assistant Hulshoff the upcoming games against Newcastle United and Southampton.

But what does a touchline ban actually mean, which prevents slot slot from doing and which other sanctions can be exposed to? The athlete explained…

How are managers suspended?

Managers and every coaching team in the technical area can be displayed yellow and red cards. If someone receives three yellow cards over the devices, this leads to one-game suspension. Six Bookings is a two-game ban; Nine mean that they are prohibited for three games, and they are burdened for 12 individual bookings due to misconduct.

Red cards lead to a one-match touchline ban that can be longer if violent behavior is involved. Stadium bans are the more serious form of punishment for misconduct.

As The athlete'S Tim Spiers wrote beforehand, Jose Mourinho's stage ban in 2015 is probably the most famous example: he was banned from the Bet365 Stadium for Chelsea's game in Stoke City after he was banned to referee Jon Moss during a defeat in Chelsea in West Ham United was confronted, who refused and refused and DAGE LEAR THE ROOM OF THE OFFICE the game.

In Moss' report on the incident, he said: “At that time, Mr. Mourinho became very aggressive and animated. He called that they are damn weak … (Arsen) Wenger is right with them … they are weak. “

What can managers not do if they are suspended?

Managers who receive a red card during a game cannot observe the rest of the game from the stands, return to the field or carry out media activities.

Touchline ban: For a standard touchline ban, the manager cannot be on the touchline before, during or after the game, and this includes participation in the warming of the team. The rules vary from country to country, but in England (both in men and women), a manager suspended by the touchline must sit in the box of the directors during the game. If there is no seat or there is no official directors' box, you have to take a place in the stand that is not near the technical area or near opposition trailers.

''Extended touchline ban: If there is an “extended” touchline ban on how the two games are presented and then changed by the Premier League, the manager cannot speak to his team from 30 minutes before the game up to 30 minutes later.

Stadium ban: If the manager serves a stadium ban, he cannot enter the ground where his team plays on the Matchday, use facilities on the site or position themselves in any environment that gives a direct view of the pitch. This also does not include direct or indirect communication with a player or employee of the club from start to full -time.

What did managers say and did to deal with it?

Adoni Iraola, manager of Bournemouth, served a touchline ban on September 30th when his team defeated Southampton 3-1.

In the press conference before the game, he said: “It is disappointing for me, but we can't change it.

“I received the explanation that we, the yellow cards, receive the same consideration as the players. We cannot address a yellow card that does not happen in Spain, in Spain you can do it, but here no. “

The punishment between players and managers differs in the fact that players can record five yellow cards in the first 19 games before being suspended for a game. This is a limit; The next punishment is for 10 bookings in 32 games.

For players and managers, yellow cards have no appeal system in the Premier League.

Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta said in October 2023, before his team opposed Sheffield United: “We always play as a manager, so I don't know why we get three yellow and the players can have five.”

“We are there every minute. Some players are on the bench and sometimes they are injured, but we are always there and we can only have three yellow. It's not fair, no? “

Last season, the Spaniard was the most booked manager in the Premier League and the former Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi together with five precautions. However, Arteta was only booked once in this campaign.

Mourinho certainly remains the most iconic manager when it comes to Touchline bans. He hid in a laundry basket before he held the Champions League together with Bayern Munich in 2005 and arrived seven hours before the start to examine his Chelsea players. In the meantime, in October 2022 he watched a trainer in the San Siro car park, as his Roma team Inter defeated 2-1.
