Chesterfield manager Paul Cook handed four-match touchline ban

He was sent off against Halifax last month after receiving two quick-fire yellow cards from referee Aaron Jackson.

Cook was charged with three counts of misconduct, which he admitted, according to the FA.

His suspension starts on Saturday against Boreham Wood and also includes the FA Cup game against Kettering Town and the two league matches against Gateshead and York City.

The FA charges state that Cook was in breach of rule E3.1:

• It is alleged that in or around the 73rd minute of the fixture, prior to his dismissal, his conduct was improper.
• It is alleged that following his dismissal, in or around the 73rd minute of the fixture, he used abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official.
• It is alleged that following the completion of the fixture, in or around the tunnel area, his behaviour was threatening and/or improper and/or he used abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official."

"Paul Cook has been handed an extended four-match touchline ban by the FA, starting from Saturday’s game at Boreham Wood,” the Spireites confirmed in a statement.
