An independent Appeal Board has partially upheld an appeal in relation to Fulham’s Marco Silva.
The head coach was charged by The FA following comments that he made after the Premier League match against West Ham United on Wednesday 4 March.
Marco Silva allegedly acted in an improper manner by making comments in a post-match interview that imply bias and/or question integrity and/or are personally offensive in relation to a match official.
The head coach admitted the charge against him, and an independent Regulatory Commission imposed a one-match touchline suspension and £90,000 fine following a hearing.
The suspension was paused pending the outcome of an appeal, and it has now been suspended by the Appeal Board until the end of the 2026/27 season. The fine imposed by the Regulatory Commission remains as originally ordered.
The Appeal Board’s written reasons will be published in due course.
