Paul Cook has spent more than four and a half years in charge of Chesterfield
- Published
Chesterfield boss Paul Cook has been handed a three-match touchline ban and fined £3,000 by The Football Association after being found guilty of using abusive language towards a match official.
Cook was charged for using abusive and/or insulting words during half-time of his side's 4-1 defeat by Newport County last month.
An FA statement added that Cook, who admitted the charge, continued to use abusive language towards the official after being given a red card.
Cook will serve his touchline ban in the Spireites' next three matches, beginning with Saturday's trip to Bristol Rovers (15:00 GMT), before games against Shrewsbury Town and Swindon Town respectively.
