Nuno Espirito Santo, the head coach of Nottingham Forest, will not be able to stand on the sidelines for his team’s upcoming Premier League match against Crystal Palace. This is due to a three-match touchline ban and a £55,000 fine that he received for his misconduct charge from the Football Association. The ban stemmed from an incident during a previous match against Brighton where he was sent off.
Additionally, Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, who was also dismissed in the same game, has received a one-match suspension and a £20,000 fine. This means he will not be eligible to play against Crystal Palace.
Espirito Santo will also miss the following matches against Leicester City and West Ham United. The incident with Brighton’s manager during the same game resulted in a fine of £8,000.
All parties involved admitted to their charges, with the independent regulatory commission handing out the appropriate punishments.
