The Arne Slot has been issued a two -match ban on a mission during Derby Merseyside against Everton.
Slot and his assistant, Spike Hulshoff, faced referee Michael Oliver after the match to challenge James Tarkowski’s late equalizer.
Liverpool firmly believed that a foul had happened in the accumulation of the target, but Oliver awarded it, a decision confirmed by VAR.
After a handshake with Oliver, the reception showed a red card, leading to confusion about the reason for its dismissal.
The Premier League then clarified that dismissal was due to the use of “offensive, offensive or abusive language”.
In a statement, the Premier League stated: “Liverpool coach Arne Slot was rejected at the end of Derby Merseyside for the use of offensive, offensive or abusive language. It is delivered as a result of a two -match touch line.”
Usually, administrators receiving red cards are subject to a ban on touch line. However, the use of abusive language has led to a gradual prohibition of two races for reception.

Consequently, he was unable to fulfill the media’s obligations after the draw at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.
Jonny Heitinga, coach of the first team, will take on management duties for the upcoming match against Wolves Heitinga can continue in this role for the next match against Aston Villa if Hulshoff also receives two games.
Liverpool’s midfielder Curtis Jones is also sent by Oliver for his role in a post -race shift. Jones pushed Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure after Doucoure celebrated in front of Liverpool fans full -time.
In addition to bans on the reception, Jones and possibly Hulshoff, Liverpool can expect a category from the football association to fail to control their players.
Premier League rules also define a separate fine for teams that accumulate six cards in a single match. This includes cards issued to coaches.
Liverpool received yellow cards for Andy Robertson, Conor Bradley and two for Jones, along with red cards for reception and hulshoff. Could face a fine of £ 25,000.
Despite the draw, Liverpool maintained a seven -point lead above the nearest Arsenal opponents in the Premier League title match.
Liverpool’s captain Virgil van Dijk attributed the quarrel after the match to Doucoure, claiming that the Everton player deliberately tried to “challenge” Liverpool fans.
“This is the final of their cup. We saw it last year, and this year is a major failure. Doucoure tried to provoke our fans. Curtis reacted properly. I believe the referee lost control of the match. I put it on him,” he said.
