Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has been charged by the Football Association with misconduct following his dismissal in a Premier League encounter against Swansea City.

The Premier League champions won the match 1-0 on Wednesday night, but the Blues boss was sent to the stands in the 43rd minute.

Conte watched the entire second half on a dressing-room TV after disputing the referee’s decision not to award a corner.

He is expected to respond to the charge on or before Tuesday next week.

The Italian apologised for his behaviour after the match at Stamford Bridge.

He said: “I was frustrated. I made a mistake. During the game I suffer. With my players I suffer. It’s a pity. I apologise for this.”
