TECHNICAL AREA
Managers need to be in control of their behaviour and that of their coaching staff.
1. If a manager/coach/team official berates either the referee or assistant referee or fourth official in a very public way in contravention of the Laws of the Game, he should be removed to the stand, and reported to The Football Association.
2. If a manager/coach/team official breaches Competition Rules only by not adhering to the 4th Official’s instructions to return to the bench after giving instructions and having a suitable length of time to see if they have been carried out, they may be removed to the stand and reported to the appropriate competition.
