March 20 (Reuters) - ⁠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.
