Thomas Tuchel is facing a lengthy ban after his call for referee Anthony Taylor not to referee any more Chelsea games.
The Blues boss hit out after Sunday’s explosive 2-2 draw with Spurs at Stamford Bridge. But while he and Antonio Conte were both shown straight red cards after the final whistle flashpoint, it was Tuchel who took aim at Taylor in his post-match press conference.
The Football Association began their investigation into the remarks on Monday morning. They have also taken a dim view of an online petition from fans calling for 43-year-old Taylor not to be given any more Chelsea games. Asked whether he agreed with the petition, Tuchel said on Sunday: “Maybe that would be better. Maybe it would be better but we also have VAR to help make the right decisions.”
