Pellegrini In UEFA Trouble Over Referee Comments
- Updated: February 21, 2014
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has been charged by UEFA for his outburst against referee Jonas Erikson after their 2-0 defeat by Barcelona on Tuesday.
A UEFA statement read: “Following an investigation by the UEFA disciplinary inspector, UEFA has today opened disciplinary proceedings against Manuel Luis Pellegrini concerning the press interviews given to media after the above-mentioned match.”
“The Manchester City FC head coach is charged for violation of the general principles of conduct (Art.11 of the 2013 UEFA disciplinary regulations.
“The case will be dealt with by the UEFA control and disciplinary body on Friday 28 February.” The statement read.
Pellegrini was furious with referee Eriksson following a series of decisions which he felt went against his side unfairly.
City defender Martin Demichelis was sent off and a penalty awarded to Barcelona following the Argentine’s challenge on Lionel Messi.
The Chilean had issued an apology for his verbal attack on Eriksson earlier on Friday but has failed to escape a disciplinary charge from European football’s governing body.
