Southend United manager Kieron Dyer will serve a touchline ban, the club has confirmed. The former England international, who was appointed as Southend boss in June, will be absent from the technical area for upcoming fixtures.
The ban comes as a setback for the National League side as they look to build momentum under Dyer's leadership. Details regarding the length of the suspension and the specific incident that led to the sanction have not been disclosed.
Dyer, 45, took charge of the Essex club in the summer after a playing career that included spells at Ipswich Town, Newcastle United, and West Ham United, as well as 33 caps for England. His transition to management has been closely watched given his high-profile playing background.
Southend will hope to maintain their form during Dyer's absence, with his coaching staff expected to assume touchline responsibilities for the duration of the ban.
