Portsmouth FC Women manager Jay Sadler has accepted two Hampshire Football Association charges of misconduct and will serve a two-match touchline ban.
He was charged over comments made to the officials following an incident that occurred during Pompey’s 2-1 defeat at Chichester last month.
The suspension means Sadler will have to watch the next two games from the stands.
However, it is understood that he can give a pre-match and half-time team-talk in the dressing room and share information with the bench by passing messages, by hand or by phone, during the game.
