Recent rule changes that have had an impact on British football

Yellow and red cards for misbehaving managers is the latest initiative designed to improve football’s appeal.

The Football Association announced the new rule will apply to coaches guilty of misconduct during matches in the FA Cup, Football League, EFL Cup, EFL Trophy and National League.

Premier League managers, meanwhile, will receive verbal cautions for “irresponsible behaviour”.

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at significant changes introduced in British football in recent seasons.
