Official: Chelsea boss Sarri facing ban after FA charge over Burnley bust up
Maurizio Sarri faces a hefty fine after being charged by the FA for his bust-up with Burnley on Monday night.
The Italian chief, 60, has been slapped with a misconduct charge after being sent-off by Kevin Friend for his touchline row late in the 2-2 draw.

Sarri claims he was left “frustrated and offended” by alleged abuse from the Burnley bench as he reacted to a scrap between Mateo Kovacic and Jack Cork.
The Blues boss claims he was repeatedly called a “s*** Italian” by members of the Clarets’ backroom staff.
After reacting angrily, the FA have opted to hand him a misconduct charge – with Sarri having until Friday to respond.
An FA statement read: “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.”
