Soccer-Leicester boss Pearson handed touchline ban and fine

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has been given a one-match touchline ban and fined 10,000 pounds ($15,600) after arguing with a fan during their Premier League defeat by Liverpool this month.

"Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing... Nigel Pearson has been fined 10,000 pounds, will serve a one-match touchline suspension, and warned as to his future conduct, subject to any appeal, after he admitted using abusive and/or insulting words towards a spectator," the Football Association said in a statement on Friday.

Pearson (Xetra: 858266 - news) , who watches his side's games from the stands and relays instructions to assistant Craig Shakespeare on the bench, revealed he had an argument with a home fan at the King Power Stadium during the 3-1 defeat on Dec. 2.

"I replied to one idiot in the stands and if he doesn't like what he sees, then don't bother coming," Pearson said at the time.
