Klopp had initially been fined £30,000 by an independent regulatory commission for his conduct on October 16.

The FA found that too lenient and an independent appeals board suspended Klopp with immediate effect on Friday.

Klopp also received a warning regarding his conduct in future matches. Liverpool play Southampton at Anfield on Saturday.
