Anger at the decision
Thomas Tuchel believed the sentence was unfair and appealed the ruling.
– My opinion is that we were responsible for the situation and we were both fired. I understand that I will be suspended and fined. What I don’t understand is that the other coach doesn’t get the same punishment. It’s hard for me to understand, Tuchel says at a press conference on Friday according to Mirrors.
He also finds it difficult to accept the referee and believes that the fight actually started during the match.
A coach was suspended for shaking hands after the match. Tuchel says its very hard to accept this but I accepted it.
