Leeds boss Jesse Marsch given one-match ban for Brentford incident
Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch (48) has been given a one-match touchline ban and fined £10,000 for an altercation with officials during his side's defeat at Brentford this month, the Football Association (FA) said on Thursday.
Marsch was sent off in the second half of the 5-2 loss on September 3rd for remonstrating with the fourth official after his side were denied a penalty. The American later accused officials of a "lack of respect".
"The manager admitted that his language and behaviour during the 64th minute of that game was improper," the FA said in a statement.
Ninth-placed Leeds' game at Manchester United this weekend was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. They next play in the Premier League at home to Aston Villa on October 2nd.
