Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Igor Tudor has been ​charged with misconduct for his ‌remarks about the match official after their 2-1 Premier League defeat ​at Fulham earlier this ​month, the FA said on ⁠Thursday.

“I didn’t like the ​referee today, too much of a ​home team referee,” Tudor told the BBC after the game on ​March 1.

“All the decisions were ​on their side. He doesn’t understand ‌football, ⁠the feeling of what is wrong and what is right.”

The FA said his remarks “imply bias ​and/or ​question integrity ⁠and/or are personally offensive in relation to ​a match official”, giving ​Tudor ⁠until March 23 to respond.

Tottenham, who are 16th in the ⁠league, ​host Nottingham Forest ​on Sunday.
