The Blues boss was sent to the stands in the 43rd minute of his side's 1-0 Premier League victory on Wednesday.

Conte watched the entire second half on a dressing-room TV after disputing the referee's decision not to award a corner when the game was goalless.

He has until 18:00 GMT on Tuesday to respond to the charge, the FA says.

The Italian apologised for his behaviour after the match at Stamford Bridge.

He said: "I was frustrated. I made a mistake. During the game I suffer. With my players I suffer. It's a pity. I apologise for this."
