Foul (association Football) - Team Officials

Team Officials

Team officials such as managers and coaches may not be cautioned or sent from the technical area in the above manner. However, according to Law 5 the referee "takes action against team officials who fail to conduct themselves in a responsible manner and may, at his discretion, expel them from the field of play and its immediate surroundings."

The league sanction for a sent-off coach or manager is normally a ban from being in the dugout or in the changing-room for a certain number of matches thereafter. The particular football association determines the length of the ban.

    The ordinary man is an anarchist. He wants to do as he likes. He may want his neighbour to be governed, but he himself doesn’t want to be governed. He is mortally afraid of government officials and policemen.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
