FA charge Tottenham boss Tudor with misconduct over referee comments

AFP

Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Igor Tudor has been charged with misconduct for his remarks about the match official after their 2-1 Premier League defeat at Fulham earlier this month, the FA said on Thursday.

"I didn't like the referee today, too much of a home team referee," Tudor told the BBC after the game on March 1.

"All the decisions were on their side. He doesn't understand football, the feeling of what is wrong and what is right."

The FA said his remarks "imply bias and/or question integrity and/or are personally offensive in relation to a match official", giving Tudor until March 23 to respond.

Tottenham, who are 16th in the league, host Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
