Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has accepted a Football Association charge of improper conduct and a fine of £8,000, but he will not be banned for the team's upcoming clash with former club Chelsea in the Premier League.

Ancelotti was issued with a red card at the end of Everton's previous clash with Manchester United as he remonstrated with referee Chris Kavanagh. The Toffees had a goal controversially ruled out after a VAR review, meaning the match finished 1-1.

Per Adam Jones of the Liverpool Echo, Ancelotti decided against appealing the improper conduct charge he was hit with following the dismissal, and that means he will be on the sidelines for his return to Chelsea.
