Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has been charged with misconduct by the English FA after he was sent off against Swansea City.
The Italian tactician has until December 5 to respond to the charge.
He can either pay a fine of £8,000 or contest it and perhaps be given a touchline ban.
The 48-year-old was sent to the stands by referee Neil Swarbrick and he fumed at what he claimed were Swansea time-wasting tactics.

The 48-year-old was sent to the stands by referee Neil Swarbrick and he fumed at what he claimed were Swansea time-wasting tactics.
“I apologise for this,” said Conte after watching the entire second half of their 1-0 win from a television screen in the dressing room.
“I was frustrated. For sure I made a mistake. During the game I suffer. With my players I suffer. It's a pity.”
