Vitor Pereira, the club’s head coach, was given a £15,000 fine for a misconduct he committed during the team’s Premier League draw against Brighton on October 5th.
In the 19th minute of the game, Pereira, 57, admitted to an FA charge of improper behavior.
Referee Jarred Gillett sent off the Portuguese after striking a person with a spare match ball in the direction of the dugout.
After an independent regulatory body did not feel it was necessary, Pereira avoided a touchline ban.
However, it was determined that the incident warranted a more expensive sanction than a “standard case” fine of £8,000.
At his next press conference, Pereira apologized, saying, “I know football is emotional and I’m an emotional guy.
“But my behavior was inappropriate,” I said. Ball kicked, and it has never happened again. I’m sorry.
