Newcastle fined manager Alan Pardew 100,000 pounds ($167,000) and gave him a formal warning on Saturday for head-butting an opposition player during a Premier League game at Hull.
The 52-year-old clashed with Hull's David Meyler during a 4-1 win but later apologized for the incident.
"Alan has accepted a formal warning from the club in relation to his behavior today and also a club fine of 100,000," said a club statement.
