Slot was charged after allegedly “acting in an improper manner and/or used insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour towards the referee”.

He has promised to change his behaviour following the incident, suggesting he will calm himself down before speaking to referees in future.

Slot told Sky Sports: “I hope next time I will act differently.

“The best thing to do is always go inside and calm down and then talk to the referee if you want to.”

SunSport understands he was sent off for his comments, NOT the handshake.

Slot, 46, has until Wednesday to respond to the FA charge so he was on the touchline for Wolves’ visit to Anfield.

The FA website initially shared an update stating Slot would be banned for two games, but it was later taken down as it is understood Oliver’s post-match report still needs to be reviewed.

Liverpool and Everton were both charged by the FA too for failing to control their players.
