Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association, following his team's Championship meeting with Burnley on Saturday (5th April).
The offence is alleged to have taken place following the final whistle, when Lampard was sent off by referee James Bell.
Burnley came from behind to earn a 2-1 win through Jaidon Anthony's brace and handed Coventry back-to-back defeats for the first time since Lampard took charge of the Sky Blues in November.
Lampard has been charged along with the club's performance analyst Connor Lawley and the pair have until Monday (14th April) to respond.
