UEFA has banned Arsene Wenger for three matches for improper conduct in relation to comments he made about the match referee after Arsenal's Champions League game against AC Milan on 6th March.

As well as being suspended from carrying out his managerial duties for the team's next three European games, Wenger has been hit with a fine of €40,000 (£33,000).

It is the third time the Frenchman has been given a touchline ban in the space of a year and, barring an appeal, will be a blow for the club when they return to continental competition.

escobar07: This is kinda harsh. A one- match ban would have been okay.

twinstaiye: The bad blood between Platini and Arsene!!! You will but noticed it each time they need to punish Arsene or his players. 3 match Ban is too harsh IMHO. Trust Arsene, like he used to do, he will surely retaliate by criticising some of the works of UEFA in a few weeks to come; and UEFA will be waiting again each time he misbehave.

mercenaryx: Kudos to UEFA (call me Sadist if you like). Wenger has always been a bad loser who cannot control his bunkums coming out of his mouth, I seldom hear SAF, Cryuff, Vicente, Ancellotti etc complaining incessantly of poor Uefa officiating and all these aforementioned coaches are my miles better than Wenger so I'll recommend 10 match ban for the "Prof" (both domestic and Uefa matches).... Just my opinion.

Aside last season 2nd-round loss to Barça where AW complained about the official, which was right, where have you heard AW complain after losing a Uefa match? Okay, you'll milan. Aside that, any more? Please remind me.
Did i hear u say AW is a 'bad loser'? I gues you don't know wen apropriate to use such phrase.
For those coaches you mentioned up there, whom i also respect, add AW to the rank. He's up there with them. Do you know who developed George Weah? Victor Ikpeba became the prince of monaco under AW. I tink you are too young to know that.
And did i see Ancelloti in ur list?
Bro, you're not a Sadist, as you want people to tag you. You are Psychotic

You're very correct bro. don't mind haters like mercenaryx who know nothing about soccer, I guess he's a Chelski fan. Wenger has always said the truth when it needed to be said, he isn't scared of the shit heads running UEFA or BPL or anything. He's a soccer god no doubt and nothing can hamper his philosophy in and out of the game.

Maxwellmbah: UEFA!!! make una stop injustice, the coach just express is own view about the match, which is normal. As for his conduct on the pitch, the match ban is much... So is the money... And this issues of ban and misconduct by coaches...UEFA is not being fair at all... They see some and ignore others....That is INJUSTICE
