Queens Park Rangers' assistant manager Richard Hill edged closer to the sack as the club was given a £20,000 fine for their part in the brawl which marred their friendly against the China Olympic team in February.
Hill, photographed punching China's Jiang Ning in the face during the 30-man fight, was found guilty of violent conduct by an FA disciplinary hearing and banned from football for three months.
The coach, already suspended by the club since the flare-up, has now been barred from "all football and football management" until Sept 30 by the FA.
