West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has been charged with improper conduct over an incident towards the end of Saturday's Premier League clash with West Brom.
Bilic was furious with referee Michael Oliver over a number of decisions in the 2-2 draw at the London Stadium and his anger boiled over towards the end of the game, when he was pictured throwing a television microphone after West Brom equalised.
His assistant Nikola Jurcevic has also been charged over a separate incident in the 19th minute of the match, when he reacted furiously to Sofiane Feghouli's "goal" being ruled out for offside.
Both men were sent to the stands after their respective incidents.
Bilic said after the match: "There were four or five decisions and all of them went totally against us. It's building up your frustration."
An FA statement read: "It is alleged that his [Bilic's] behaviour in or around the 90th minute of the fixture amounted to improper conduct.
"His assistant manager Nikola Jurcevic has also been charged for alleged misconduct following an incident in the 19th minute.
"Both have until 6pm on February 16 to respond to their charge."
