Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has escaped with a fine after being handed an FA disrepute charge.

Coleman was less than pleased with referee Steve Bennett's performance in the 2-0 FA Cup sixth round defeat by Chelsea, but escaped a touchline ban and was warned about his future conduct.

He was also fined £2,500, although £2,000 of that is suspended until the end of next season.

Coleman told the Evening Telegraph: "I am very pleased with the outcome.

"I have to thank Ian Smith and John Duncan from the League Managers' Association, who helped me with the case and I have to say that I thought the FA were extremely fair and listened to everything I had to say."
