Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been handed a three-game touchline ban and a £40,000 fine for his conduct following last weekend's 1-1 draw with West Brom.
The Frenchman has accepted an FA misconduct charge for his behaviour in the referee's changing room after the match and has avoided a stadium ban.
"Arsene Wenger will serve a touchline ban for Arsenal's next three matches after he was charged with misconduct," an FA statement read.
"It follows an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today at which the Arsenal manager admitted that his language and behaviour in the match officials' changing room after the West Brom game on Sunday was abusive, improper and questioned the integrity of the match referee.
"He was also fined £40,000."
In a separate incident, Wenger has also been asked by the FA to provide a response to what he said about penalty decisions which went against the Gunners in their matches against the Baggies and Chelsea.
