Wolverhampton Wanderers manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, has been fined £25,000 ($34,000, 28,000 euros) and warned to his future conduct following public criticism of referee Lee Mason.
Nuno said Mason was not good enough to officiate in the Premier League following Wolves’ 2-1 loss to Burnley on December 21.
England’s Football Association said Wednesday that Nuno had accepted a charge of improper conduct following a personal hearing.
Two days later Nuno apologized for the timing of his comments but not for the thinking behind them.
The FA charged Nuno on New Year’s Eve and a fine was handed down at a hearing in front of an independent regulatory commission.
