LONDON (Reuters) - Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has been given a one-match touchline ban and fined 10,000 pounds ($15,600) after arguing with a fan during their Premier League defeat by Liverpool this month.
"Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing... Nigel Pearson has been fined 10,000 pounds, will serve a one-match touchline suspension, and warned as to his future conduct, subject to any appeal, after he admitted using abusive and/or insulting words towards a spectator," the Football Association said in a statement on Friday.
