📌 Key idea:
Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca was suspended for one match after being sent off in the team’s win over Liverpool in the English Premier League.
The Italian received the second yellow card in the match by referee Anthony Taylor for leaving the technical area to celebrate with his players following Estevao Willian’s 95th-minute victory against the defending champion this month.
The FA said: “There are allegations that the coach behaved in an inappropriate manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behavior during the match, which led to his dismissal in approximately the 96th minute.”
The FA said that Maresca admitted the charge and accepted the usual punishment.
Maresca, who was shown a yellow card for dissent earlier in the match at Stamford Bridge, was also fined. 8000 pounds sterling.
This means he will not be in the Chelsea dugout when the Blues travel to the City Ground to face Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest on Saturday, with assistant coach Willy Caballero expected to deputize for the former Leicester City boss.
This will be Maresca’s second touchline ban since becoming a Premier League manager in June 2024.
The 45-year-old served his first ban in April 2025 after picking up his third yellow card of the season while celebrating Pedro Neto’s 93rd-minute goal against Fulham.
