Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti heading back to old club Chelsea after avoiding touchline ban

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has been fined £8,000 for his post-match red card against Manchester United but will not face a touchline ban.

The Italian was charged with a breach of FA Rule E3 after marching onto the field to confront referee Chris Kavanagh after his side were denied an added-time winner by VAR.

However, Ancelotti has avoided a touchline ban and is free to take charge of Sunday's game against his old club Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

'The Everton FC manager admitted that his language and/or behaviour on the field of play at the end of the fixture amounted to improper conduct and also accepted the standard penalty,' said an FA statement.
