Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt has been handed a three-match touchline ban for misconduct by the Football Association.
Evatt accepted the charge that his behaviour was 'improper and/or violent' at the end of Bolton's 2-2 draw with Shrewsbury Town on 5 October.
The Bolton boss was shown a red card by referee Declan Bourne after the final whistle for appearing to push his head towards Shrewsbury captain Morgan Feeney.
He has also been fined £3,400.
Evatt will be suspended for home games with Burton Albion this Saturday and Peterborough United (26 October), as well as the trip to leaders Birmingham City on 22 October.
Prior to being charged, Evatt had admitted to BBC Radio Manchester that he "went too far".
