Newcastle's assistant manager Jason Tindall was sent off at half-time during the Magpies' Boxing Day clash with Aston Villa after shushing Unai Emery on the touchline.
Eddie Howe's outspoken assistant was repeatedly engaging with the Villa manager during a heated first-half which saw Jhon Duran sent off after just half-an-hour.
Tindall will watch the remainder of the match from the stands.
The assistant manager has form with the gesture, having previously directed it towards former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp when the two teams met at the start of the 2023-24 season.
