Swindon boss Holloway handed FA misconduct charge

Ian Holloway was appointed Swindon manager in October 2024

Swindon Town boss Ian Holloway has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association after his sending-off in their League Two win over Chesterfield.

Holloway was dismissed less than a quarter of an hour into Saturday's 1-0 victory after disputing a caution for Robins striker Harry Smith.

"It's alleged the manager acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official in the 11th minute and after being sent off," an FA statement said.

Holloway has been given until Monday, 3 March to respond to the charge. His Swindon side are 15th in League Two and they visit leaders Walsall on Saturday.
