"The Italian was shown a second yellow card of the game by referee Anthony Taylor for leaving the technical area to celebrate with his players following Estevao Willian's 95th-minute winner against the reigning champions this month. "It was alleged that the manager acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour during the fixture, which led to his dismissal around the 96th minute," the Football Association said."
"The FA said Maresca admitted the charge and accepted the standard penalty. Maresca, who was shown a yellow card for dissent earlier in the game at Stamford Bridge, has also been fined 8,000. It means he will not be in the Chelsea dugout when the Blues travel to the City Ground to face Ange Postecoglou's Nottingham Forest on Saturday, with assistant coach Willy Caballero expected to deputise for the former Leicester City boss."
Enzo Maresca received a one-match touchline ban after being sent off for leaving the technical area to celebrate Estevao Willian's 95th-minute winner against Liverpool. Referee Anthony Taylor showed Maresca a second yellow following an earlier caution for dissent at Stamford Bridge. The Football Association alleged improper and/or abusive behaviour that led to dismissal; Maresca admitted the charge and accepted the standard penalty. The FA also imposed an 8,000 fine. Assistant coach Willy Caballero is expected to take charge for Chelsea's upcoming fixture at Nottingham Forest. This marks Maresca's second touchline suspension since his June 2024 Premier League appointment.
