| Jurgen Klopp expected harsher punishment from FA |
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has expressed his expectations for a harsher punishment following his conduct during their 4-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur on April 30.
The Football Association (FA) confirmed that Klopp had been charged with "improper conduct" for his behavior during and after the match against Tottenham.
Klopp was aware of the consequences of his actions and anticipated a more severe punishment. The Liverpool boss had previously received a touchline ban earlier in the season for his comments about Manchester City, and referees' chiefs were willing to share the audio of his outburst, leading to a potential second touchline ban.
Now the Liverpool manager will be fined 75,000 and suspended from the touchline for two games, one for his celebration in the face of the fourth official, the other for his post-match comments about referee Paul Tierney. His second suspension is reserved until the end of the 2023-24 season under conditions that he does not commit further breaches.
