Hartlepool United manager John Hughes has been handed a two-match touchline ban for misconduct during his side's 1-0 defeat to Coventry City.

The Pool boss was shown a red card in last month's League One clash for protesting the Sky Blues' winning goal, which he believed should have been ruled out.

Hughes was hit with the penalty after being found guilty of misconduct during a disciplinary hearing at Wembley Stadium on Thursday.

He will watch his side's final game of the season against Crawley Town from the stands and miss the opening fixture of the next campaign.
