Tottenham manager, Mauricio Pochettino has said he is surprised he has received a two-game touchline ban.
The Argentine got punished for confronting Mike Dean, the ref in charge of the Tottenham loss 2-1 to Burnley.
Poch is of the opinion that his punishment is unnecessary and he might be willing to appeal when the FA state the exact reasons for the ban.
His words, “I am in shock. I still think it’s unfair. I can do nothing,”
“I still need to see the reasons but the letter [from the FA] has still not arrived. I am suspended for two games.
“I think we are waiting after Wednesday for the letter from the FA but it’s still not arrived. I’m so curious to see why they decided to do what they did. A two-game ban is completely unfair and I want to see why and then talk a bit more.”
On his record as Spurs coach, “This is my seventh season in England. You can see how I’ve behaved since day one,” he said.
“I was always a player, coach, who wanted to help the FA. I always try to behave in my best.
“It’s my first time here when I’m not completely right in my behaviour but I feel that it’s too much. I feel a bit sad with the punishment.
“I need to wait and see what they put on the letter and the reason to ban me with two games. That is unbelievable, no?”
