English football: yellow and red cards also for coaches

In England, undefeated football coaches have to wait for yellow and red cards during the coming season.

The reasons for punishing coaches with yellow or red may be improper language or gestures, kicking or throwing water, sarcastic applause or malicious gestures to referees, entering technical zones reserved for the opponent. Waving with imaginary yellow or red cards

Block of four yellow cards

After four yellow cards, a coach would be suspended for one game after eight for two. Three suspension games would be followed by twelve yellow cards, and if a coach could actually accumulate 16 cards, he would be threatened with proceedings before the discipline committee of the badociation.

"It's not about creating more drama, but more clarity," said Shaun Harvey, president of the English Football League. "From time to time, a coach is sent to the stands, and seeing the red card makes him more visible in the stadium," Harvey said.

However, the 2018/19 test phase only takes place in the FA Cup and League Cup. This was reported by the FA National Federation. The pilot project does not concern Premier League matches – in the Eliteliga, referees continue to warn or verbally warn coaches.
