Conte and Tuchel, accused of inappropriate conduct after the controversy in the London derby

Tuchel-Conte brawl 0:29 (Reuters) — Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and his Tottenham Hotspur counterpart Antonio Conte were charged by the Football Association (FA) after their confrontation after this Sunday’s draw in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge. The two coaches shook hands after the 2-2 draw in which tempers flared, but then clashed on the pitch before being separated by players and staff from both teams. Referee Anthony Taylor also showed red cards to both trainers as a result of the fight. “It is alleged that the behavior of both managers was inappropriate after the end of the match,” the FA said in a statement. The two have until this Thursday to respond to the accusations. The FA is also investigating Tuchel’s comments after the German manager criticized Taylor for his decisions.

In the post-match press conference, Tuchel lamented the “huge misunderstanding of situations” and said that “it would be better” if Taylor stopped refereeing Chelsea games. Shortly after the game, fans launched an online petition calling for Taylor to no longer manage Chelsea games, and he has already received more than 122,000 signatures. Although Tuchel and Conte were involved in a heated exchange, the two coaches were relatively calm after the game and said they had no hard feelings. Conte, the former Chelsea manager, even mocked Tuchel on Instagram, saying he was glad he hadn’t seen the German celebrating the second goal running down the flank as “tripping you would have been well deserved”.
