Nuno Espirito Santo has been given a three-match touchline ban by the FA following the chaotic scenes at the end of Nottingham Forest’s ill-tempered draw with Brighton last month.
The Portuguese boss was handed a two-game ban for comments after the 2-2 draw at the Amex Stadium, with an extra game triggered from a suspended ban following incidents at Everton last season.
Morgan Gibbs-White has also been banned for one game following misconduct after his dismissal against the Seagulls.
Gibbs-White was shown a second yellow card by referee Rob Jones after a challenge on forward Joao Pedro.
“I’m not able to judge at the moment,” Nottingham Forest assistant Rui Pedro Silva said. “The referee had a good view. Anthony [Taylor] was close to the situation. In this moment it was a very good game.
“It was a fair and good tackle. Not justifying a second yellow card. I think the referees took their time. It’s not bad if they take their time. Anthony had a point of view. I didn’t hear nothing from the mouth of Nuno that justified a red card.”
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler was handed an £8,000 fine after also being sent-off in the same match.
