Chelsea Manager Sarri Charged with Misconduct During Burnley Game

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association following his late dismissal on Monday, 22 April, 2-2 draw with Burnley.

The 60-year-old Italian has until Friday, 26 April to answer to the charge.

Sarri's assistant Gianfranco Zola claimed after the match that the decision to send his compatriot to the stands was unfair as he "was just trying to tell our players to get in position".

"Maurizio Sarri has been charged with misconduct in relation to his behaviour in the 94th minute of Monday' Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Burnley," read an FA statement.
