Roberto de Zerbi to miss Brighton's match with West Ham, serving one-game ban for improper behaviour after abusing officials after seeing red in Fulham defeat... with manager also handed a £15,000 fine for saying 'I didn't like the attitude of the referee

Roberto de Zerbi will not be on the touchline for Brighton's game with West Ham on Saturday after being handed a one-match suspension by The FA.

The Brighton manager admitted improper behaviour on the pitch at full time in their Premier League clash with Fulham in February.

As a punishment for his language towards officials in the tunnel post-match, de Zerbi has been fined £15,000, and will be suspended from the touchline for one match.

That fixture is their home match to the Hammers on Saturday.

While de Zerbi disputed the ruling, he said he respected it.
