FA charge Tottenham manager Igor Tudor over Fulham referee comments
Tottenham Hotspur manager Igor Tudor has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association following his explosive post-match comments about referee Thomas Bramall after a Premier League defeat at Fulham.
The Croatian head coach accused the official of being a “home referee” in the wake of a frustrating 2-0 London derby loss at Craven Cottage.
He further claimed the match official lacked a fundamental understanding of the game while expressing his fury over what he perceived as a crucial officiating error.
Jimenez cheating accusation prompts FA action
The Spurs boss alleged that Fulham striker Raul Jimenez had cheated by pushing defender Radu Dragusin in the build-up to Harry Wilson’s opening goal.
England’s football governing body released a formal statement confirming disciplinary proceedings regarding the controversial television interview.
The manager allegedly acted in an improper manner during a post-match interview by making comments that imply bias and/or question integrity and/or are personally offensive in relation to a match official.
Deadline set for misconduct response
The former Juventus defender now has until Monday, 23 March to formally respond to the misconduct allegations.
This recent defeat in west London deals a frustrating blow to the north London club’s ambitions in the upper echelons of the Premier League standings.
