Everton manager Ancelotti avoids ban ahead of Chelsea return

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has avoided a ban after being sent off against Manchester United.

Ancelotti has been fined £8,000 after accepting an FA misconduct charge, but will not face a touchline ban.

Ancelotti "admitted that his language and/or behaviour" at the end of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Manchester United "amounted to improper conduct and also accepted the standard penalty".

It means Ancelotti will be in the dugout for Sunday's match against Chelsea.
