Thomas Tuchel “quite clearly instigated the confrontation between himself and Antonio Conte”, an independent regulatory commision has found.
The Chelsea and Tottenham bosses got themselves in hot water after the pair clashed at the end of a thrilling London derby at Stamford Bridge earlier this month. Tension had been bubbling throughout the controversial 2-2 draw, but it was a post-match coming together which forced the Football Association to act.
After Spurs grabbed a last-gasp Harry Kane equaliser, Conte and Tuchel approached one another to shake hands. However, Tuchel appeared to not let go of his opposite number’s hands causing a melee between both benches.
