Liverpool assistant boss Lee charged with misconduct

LONDON: Liverpool assistant manager Sammy Lee has been charged with improper conduct over an incident in the 2-1 defeat at Tottenham, the Football Association (FA) said yesterday.

Lee was sent from the dug-out for yelling at fourth official Stuart Attwell when referee Phil Dowd refused to award Liverpool a penalty late in Sunday’s Premier League game.

He has until Wednesday to respond to the charge under new fast-track regulations relating to technical area offences, aimed at getting a resolution within a month of the relevant incidents taking place.

The FA also charged two lower-division managers with improper conduct — Peterborough United’s Darren Ferguson, the son of Manchester United’s Alex, and Paul Lambert who took charge of Third Division Norwich City on Tuesday. — Reuters
