Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has been handed a two-match touchline ban by The Football Association following his red card against Everton.

Slot was sent off after the final whistle at the conclusion of Liverpool's 2-2 draw at Goodison Park on Wednesday 12 February. 

He subsequently accepted an FA charge.

Slot will not be in Liverpool's dugout for tonight's Premier League home match with Newcastle United, or for the visit of Southampton on 8 March.

The head coach will be able to resume his place in the dugout on Wednesday 2 April when Liverpool host Everton at Anfield.

He will continue to carry out media duties despite his ban.

The Dutchman's assistant Sipke Hulshoff has also been suspended for two matches, while the Reds and Everton have been fined £65,000 and £50,000 respectively for their failure to control their players.
