Chelsea manager Sarri faces misconduct charges after Burnley game

24 apr 2019

The English Football Association have decided to charge Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri with misconduct after his apparent involvement within drama that took place after Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Burnley came to an end. Commotion evolved into a full tunnel brawl and Sarri's assistant, Gianfranco Zola, said that Sarri was only trying to sort out his own players and nothing more.

In a statement from the FA, it reads: "Maurizio Sarri has been charged with misconduct in relation to his behaviour in the 94th minute of Monday’s (22/04/2019) Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Burnley. The Chelsea manager has until 18:00 on Friday (26/04/2019) to provide a response."
