Emotions in a Premier Leaguegame are so high that they can not only get the best of the playerson the pitch, but alsothose in the dugout. Though managers are supposed to set an example by keeping their cooleven in the most difficult situations, they can also lose it.

If not, just look at Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte, who took much of the attention during Sunday’s clash between Chelsea and Tottenham. The head coaches were unable to control themselves and ended up seeing the red card for their behavior during the 2-2 draw.

Tuchel and Conte had to be separated more than once for their altercations,even when they attempted to shakehands after the final whistle.On Monday, the English Football Association issued its decision on thismatter.

While the length of thesuspension remains to be seen, both managers are expected to miss games as referee Anthony Taylor showed them the red card for their full-time altercation. They had already been separated before then in what has been a heated evening at Stamford Bridge .

The officials’ decisions didn’t help at all to calm things down. In fact, it’s safe to say theyonly fueled the confrontations on the touchline. Thatsaid, both Tuchel and Conte have enoughexperienceto handle this differently . At the end of the day, they should be the first to show their players what sportsmanship is all about.
