FA raises minimum discrimination ban to 10 matches — and for the first time covers managers and dugout staff

The FA's new minimum 10-match ban for discrimination, effective from the new season, applies to players, managers and all technical-area staff for the first time. The previous floor was six matches under FA Rule E3.2, which covers references to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and disability. The FA called it part of its commitment to "a game free from discrimination."
