Jurgen Klopp has been handed a one-match touchline ban after the Football Association successfully appealed against the decision to only fine the Liverpool manager for confronting a match official.
Klopp was initially fined £30,000 by an independent regulatory commission over his conduct towards referee Anthony Taylor during the game against Manchester City on 16 October.
The FA felt that was too lenient and an independent appeal board has now suspended the German from the touchline with immediate effect.
Liverpool face Southampton at Anfield on Saturday.
A statement from the FA read: "An independent Appeal Board has allowed the FA's appeal against an Independent Regulatory Commission’s sanction in relation to the recent case involving Jurgen Klopp.
"As a result, the Liverpool FC manager has been suspended from the touchline for one match with immediate effect, fined £30,000 and warned as to his future conduct.
"Jurgen Klopp has previously admitted that he breached FA Rule E3 during their Premier League match against Manchester City FC on Sunday, October 16 2022 and received a sanction £30,000."
The FA launched a new 'Enough Is Enough’ campaign in September aimed at stamping out abuse of all kinds at all levels of the game.
It is understood the FA feels elite-level managers have an example to set to the grassroots game in terms of what is acceptable behaviour.
Asked the day after the fine whether he felt it was a fair punishment, Klopp said: "Should I have got a ban? I don’t know.
"I never was in the situation, I never had a red card, I didn’t ever have a yellow card as far as I know.
"I’m the wrong person that you should ask. I have no idea about what the usual things are. I had a touchline ban years ago in the Champions League with (Borussia) Dortmund, very similar situation, but obviously the Champions League is slightly different."
Meanwhile, Klopp believes Trent Alexander-Arnold did not have any doubts about his World Cup inclusion and admits the right-back would have been disappointed had he not made the England squad.
The debate over whether the defender would be picked by Gareth Southgate has rumbled on for months but it was only a recent injury to Chelsea's Reece James which made the 24-year-old's inclusion more likely.
Following confirmation of his place on Thursday, Klopp said Alexander-Arnold would be an asset in Qatar.
"I didn't speak to him (about his World Cup chances) and I know Trent now long enough, I think he knows - apart from playing football - he has no influence," said the Liverpool manager.
"I am not sure he was in doubt but with all the discussions - at least the discussions I followed - if everyone had been available it was likely you don't take four right-backs.
"I don't know exactly why we have this discussion but it's fine. When you have the choice between four or five - and (Kyle) Walker is kind of fit and Reece James obviously is not available - I think Gareth is very happy he has Trent as well.
"Trent took it, he is very calm. He plays the football he plays, tries to improve, tries to develop, but I think he would have been disappointed if he had not been there."
