Conte was fined Stg 15,000 ($A26,000) but avoided a touchline ban after both managers admitted improper conduct during Sunday's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Tuchel's ban has been suspended temporarily, though, pending the full written reasons for the decision, allowing the Chelsea manager to take his place in the dugout for Sunday's Premier League game at Leeds.

The managers, who had already had a heated clash in the technical area during Sunday's game, went head-to-head after the final whistle when the traditional handshake went awry, setting off pushing and shoving.

Both managers were shown red cards.

Tuchel could yet also find himself in trouble for incendiary comments about the referee after the game.

He turned on Anthony Taylor in his post-match news conference, saying "maybe it would be better" if Taylor no longer officiated games involving Chelsea.

Meanwhile Tuchel has confirmed he is in talks with Chelsea over a contract extension.

The German coach's current deal already runs until 2024, but Chelsea's new owners are keen to keep him in west London for the long term.

Tuchel signed an 18-month contract after the sacking of Frank Lampard in January 2021.

The former Paris St Germain and Borussia Dortmund boss then penned an extension after leading the Blues to the Champions League title in 2022.

New owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have been impressed by Tuchel's tenure and Chelsea's new chiefs want to keep the 48-year-old at Stamford Bridge.

Asked about his contract situation, Tuchel said: "There are talks. But I think given the situation where we come from, and where we are in the middle of the transfer period, I think it is the very best if I focus on my team and on sports and on being competitive.

"My people talk to the owners and take care of everything else.

"You know how glad I am to be here and how much I like it. So it's a good thing."

Chelsea face Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday.
