Forest manager handed three-game ban

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has been given a three-match touchline ban and fined £55,000 after accepting a misconduct charge from the Football Association.

Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White was sent off late on in the 2-2 draw at Brighton last month, with Nuno dismissed for his reaction. The England midfielder has been handed a one-match suspension and £20,000 fine by an independent regulatory commission.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler was also charged by the FA after he encroached on to the field to protest about Gibbs-White’s challenge on Joao Pedro.

A statement from the FA read: “Nuno Espirito Santo, Morgan Gibbs-White and Fabian Hurzeler admitted to their respective charges.

“The independent regulatory commission imposed a two-match touchline suspension and £55,000 fine on the Nottingham Forest head coach, which activated a further one-match touchline ban that had been suspended, as well as a one-match suspension and £20,000 fine on the Nottingham Forest midfielder.

“The Brighton & Hove Albion manager was fined £8,000 after accepting the standard penalty.”
