Conte insists Tuchel situation is ‘finished’ when asked about potential touchline ban

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is expecting to avoid a touchline ban following his fiery altercation with Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel on Sunday.

Conte remains hopeful that he will be in the dugout for his side’s visit of Wolves on Saturday despite being sent off at the end of a hostile London derby against his former club at Stamford Bridge.

He and Tuchel argued as Conte celebrated Spurs’ first equaliser in the epic 2-2 draw, then clashed again at full-time after Harry Kane’s added-time goal earned the visitors a point.

The two managers were hit with an FA charge on Monday and have until Thursday night to either accept or appeal.

Conte seemed to hint he would accept the charge when asked about the matter earlier on Thursday:

“I see that the FA made us, both coaches, a more soft charge, no? And we have to accept,” he said.

“We have to accept and have respect for every decision. But I think sometimes this type of situation can happen.

“It’s not the first time, it won’t be the last time that two coaches are not in the right way or do not agree.

“But the most important thing is we have to move on, to have respect for each other. And for me, the situation finishes there.”

Unlike when a player is sent off, Conte and Tuchel will not necessarily receive a ban – even if they accept their respective charges.
