Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell has been charged by the Football Association with two rule breaches following his sending off in their defeat against Wycombe Wanderers.

Caldwell was shown the red card after Wycombe were awarded a 93rd-minute penalty that resulted in them winning the game 2-1 on New Year’s Day.

The Grecians boss allegedly acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words towards the referee and the fourth official.

He has until Wednesday to respond to the charge.

Caldwell has already served a one-game touchline ban this season, while Exeter coach David Perkins was fined £500 by the FA following his red card against Lincoln in November.

Speaking last week, Caldwell insisted that he and his coaches do not have a discipline problem.

“Yes, we’re passionate, yes, we want to defend the football club, but we’re not as bad as the cards would suggest,” he told BBC Radio Devon.
