The Portuguese coach accepted the charge of using abusive or insulting language towards a match official, the Football Association has confirmed.

A statement from the FA read: Tottenham Hotspur FC's goalkeeper coach, Nuno Santos, has been suspended from the touchline for one match and fined £8,000 after admitting a charge for a breach of FA Rule E3 and accepting a standard penalty.
