"Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira has been fined 15,000 for an incident of misconduct during the club's Premier League draw with Brighton on 5 October. Pereira, 57, admitted to an FA charge of acting in an improper manner in the 19th minute of the fixture. The Portuguese was sent off by referee Jarred Gillett after he kicked a spare match ball in the direction of the dugout, which struck an individual."
"Pereira avoided a touchline ban after a sporting sanction was not deemed necessary by an independent regulatory commission. However, it was decided the incident justified a greater financial sanction than a 8,000 fine for a 'standard case'. Pereira issued an apology at his next press conference, saying: "I know football is emotional, and I'm an emotional guy. "But my behaviour was not proper. I kicked a ball and it cannot happen again. I apologise.""
Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira was fined 15,000 for misconduct after kicking a spare match ball during the Premier League draw with Brighton on 5 October. Pereira admitted an FA charge of acting in an improper manner after the ball struck an individual and was sent off by referee Jarred Gillett. An independent regulatory commission judged a sporting sanction unnecessary, avoiding a touchline ban, but imposed a larger financial penalty than the typical 8,000 fine. Pereira apologised at his next press conference, acknowledging his behaviour was not proper. Wolves remain bottom of the Premier League and winless after eight matches.
