Jurgen Klopp has been handed a Football Association (FA) charge following his actions during Liverpool s Premier League win over Manchester City on Sunday.
The Reds manager was shown a red card late on during his side s 1-0 victory at Anfield after he lambasted an assistant referee when no foul was given in Mohamed Salah s favour near the touchline.
Klopp accepted responsibility in his post-match comments, admitting he had overstepped the mark, having been sent to the stands by referee Anthony Taylor.
The 55-year-old is to be allowed in the dugout for Liverpool s next match against West Ham, but he has meanwhile been given until the end of the week to respond to an official charge relating to improper behaviour.

Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner says he feels no pressure to replicate Aaron Ramsdale as the USMNT shot stopper pushes to assert his place with the Gunners.
The 28-year-old joined Mikel Arteta s side from New England Revolution ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, but has so far been restricted in his minutes by the superb performances of his team-mate.
England hopeful Ramsdale has kept four clean sheets in the top-flight this term, a figure only exceeded by Three Lions team-mate Nick Pope with Newcastle United and Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.
His form has helped Arsenal emerge as title contenders, leading the Premier League ahead of champions Manchester City but Turner says he does not feel as if he must mimic the former Sheffield United man to improve.

FC Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has moved to rubbish reports linking him with a summer move to Manchester United insisting he is happy in Germany.
The Holland international, 30, agreed a contract extension at the Allianz Arena in March, which ties him to the club until the summer of 2017, and appears to be staying put despite contrary speculation suggesting he could move to Old Trafford to play under newly-appointed Dutch manager Louis van Gaal.
Robben previously graced the English Premier League with Chelsea before moving to La Liga side Real Madrid in a deal worth €35 million in August 2007.
After two years in the Spanish capital, Robben joined Bayern for €25 million and as they say the rest is history.

League leaders Barcelona and Real Madrid both lost in a remarkable day of La Liga action on Saturday.
Having all but conceded the title and with a Champions League semi-final return leg to worry about, a weakened Real Madrid line-up went down 3-2 against struggling Real Zaragoza.
However, the gap between second placed Real Madrid and Barca remains eight points after Pep Guadiola s side was also defeated 2-1 by Real Sociedad.
At the Bernabeu, Jose Mourinho s side were without key players Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Oezil, Angel Di Maria and Emmanuel Adebayor, and went two goals behind thanks to strikes from Lafita and Gabi on either side of half time.
Defender Sergio Ramos grabbed one back for Real, only for Lafita to double his tally on 77 mnutes and restor…
understands that Hector Bellerin is happy at Arsenal, despite interest from Spanish giants Barcelona.
The full back broke into the Gunners’ first team in the 2014/15 campaign and has since racked up fifty-six Premier League appearances, scoring three goals.
His form has seen him attract interest from the La Liga champions, though the defender has insisted that he doesn’t see himself playing anywhere else.
Bellerin was born in Barcelona, and has represented Spain at every level from U16s to U21s but is yet to receive a senior call up.
He has spent the whole of his career so far with Arsene Wenger’s side, aside from a brief loan spell with Watford in the 2013/14 campaign.
Arsenal ended the 2015/16 Premier League campaign in second place…
Joachim Low has promised that Germany will persist with their attacking brand of football when the FIFA World Cup gets under way in Brazil.
Runners-up in 2002 and third in both 2006 and 2010, the Germans are among the favourites to be crowned world champions for a fourth time.
Low is preparing to steer the side into their fourth major tournament under his stewardship, with the nation having developed a reputation for producing young, exciting footballers who play an expansive brand of the game.
In an interview with FIFA.com, Low has pledged to continue with that philosophy, despite misgivings from elsewhere over the impact such a style could have on Germany s defensive stability.
We ve analysed all of our games from the last two years very closely, he said.
