Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is banned from the touchline for three matches following his red card in the draw at Brighton.
Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been banned from the touchline for three matches after his red card in the draw at Brighton last month.
Gibbs-White was sent off in the 83rd minute after receiving a second booking, with Nuno and Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler both red carded in the aftermath.Hurzeler was given an £8,000 fine but avoided a touchline ban. A Football Association statement read: "It was alleged that the Nottingham Forest head coach acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official.
"The Nottingham Forest midfielder allegedly acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official after being sent off.It said Nuno, Gibbs-White and Hurzeler all admitted to their respective charges, with the punishments enforced by the independent regulatory commission.Nuno apologised for his reaction to the officials, including referee Rob Jones and fourth official Anthony Taylor, and had hoped his contrition would lead to leniency.
However, not only was the Portuguese manager given a two-match ban for this specific incident, a one-game suspended ban - for comments following Forest's 2-0 defeat at Everton in April - was also activated.
