Chelsea assistant manager Rui Faria has had the punishment for his
aggressive touchline behaviour reduced by the Football Association following an
appeal.
Jose Mourinho's
right-hand man was issued with a six-match stadium ban after being charged with
two counts of improper conduct.
The English governing body took
action after Faria angrily confronted the match officials during Chelsea's 2-1 defeat to Sunderland on April 19.
It has now been confirmed that the
coach's appeal has been partly upheld, meaning that Faria will serve a
four-match stadium ban with two games suspended.
The assistant boss will miss the
first two games of the 2014-15 campaign after being absent for the last two
games of the recent season.
