JAKARTA - Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been sentenced to two games on the sidelines and a fine of 70,000 euros by the English Football Association (FA) following a red card he received amid a commotion at the end of Derby Merseyside, February 12, 2025.
Arne Slot acknowledged the allegations of acting "in inappropriate and/or using insulting and/or abusive behavior against match referees and assistant referees".
He had approached referee Michael Oliver after a fight between the two groups of players after the final whistle that caused Abdoulaye Doucoure (Everton) and Curtis Jones (Liverpool) to be sent off for a foul that could lead to a second yellow card.
