Everton manager Ancelotti charged by FA for misconduct

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has found himself at the forefront of an FA misconduct charge.

The veteran boss was incensed when his team was denied a winning goal against Manchester United at Goodison Park on Sunday.

He thought his side had won the game 2-1, but the goal was ruled out by VAR for a disputable offside.

Ancelotti was seen speaking to the referee angrily after the final whistle, and got red carded.

"It is alleged that the Everton FC manager's language and/or behaviour on the field of play at the end of the Premier League fixture against Manchester United FC on Sunday 1 March 2020 amounts to improper conduct," read an FA statement.

"He has until Thursday 5 March 2020 to provide a response."
