Arsene Wenger has been handed a two match ban by Uefa after being found guilty of breaching the terms of a previous Champions League sanction and the north London club has also been fined 10,000 euros (£8,742) for improper conduct by their officials and the Uefa statement for a "today's decision was taken in relation to the Arsenal manager not abiding by the decision of the control and disciplinary body."
Arsenal boss received the ban after he was found guilty of contacting the bench while serving a touchline ban during the 1st leg of Arsenal's tie against Udinese on Tuesday, 16 August and the arsenal will appeal against the ban will take effect immediately with Wenger set to sit in the stands on Wednesday during the 2nd leg of the Gunners group stage play off match against Italian side.
Gunners boss believed he had not done anything wrong after the club had told him he could pass messages to assistant Pat Rice via a coach during the 1st leg at Emirates Stadium. He was then told at half time that this was not allowed and Wenger said it was frustrating club had asked Uefa before the match for clarification of the rules and that he had stuck to them.
