Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson was given a one-match touchline ban and a £10,000 ($15,635) fine following his foul-mouthed rant at a fan last month.

Pearson had a personal hearing in front of an Independent Regulatory Commission on Friday after accepting the Football Association's charge of using "abusive and/or insulting words towards a spectator" during Leicester's 3-1 defeat by Liverpool.

The 51-year-old had refused to apologise to the Foxes supporter despite calls from the Leicester City Supporters' Club to say sorry for reportedly shouting "f**k off and die" at the fan who had been hurling his own abuse at him.

The statement from the FA read: "Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing, Nigel Pearson has been fined £10,000, will serve a one-match touchline suspension, and warned as to his future conduct, subject to any appeal, after he admitted using abusive and/or insulting words towards a spectator.

"The sanction will not come into effect until the end of the appeal period.

"The Leicester City manager was charged following his side's game against Liverpool on 2 December 2014."

A statement from Leicester stated Pearson and his representatives have requested written reasons for the sanctions.

Leicester are on an 11-game winless run and are bottom of the Premier League ahead of Saturday's trip to West Ham United.
