Arne Slot will watch Liverpool's Premier League clash against Southampton from the stands on Saturday afternoon at Anfield as he serves the final match of his touchline suspension.
The 46-year-old was slapped with a two-match touchline ban and a £70,000 fine by the Football Association after being shown a red card by referee Michael Oliver in the aftermath of last month's Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
The Dutchman confronted Oliver after the game for allowing James Tarkowski's 98th-minute equaliser to stand after he thought Ibrahima Konate had been fouled in the build-up.
Earlier this week, the FA alleged that the Dutchman was "confrontational and aggressive" and "used abusive words" when shaking Oliver's hand after the game.

Slot began his suspension for Liverpool's 2-0 win over Newcastle United on February 26 and will serve the final match against Southampton on Saturday.
It means he will be able to take charge of Liverpool's League Cup final against Newcastle on the Wembley touchline.
"Asked about his suspension in Friday's pre-press conference Slot said: "Now we have iPads, so I have the same view, so it is not necessary to have a suspension to get a good view.
"The view is better '[higher up] but you feel the emotions down by the pitch.
"Where I am sitting tomorrow, it is an 'easy game' to play but down by the pitch, it's harder.
"I have a good replacement with John Heitinga, he did so well in his first game."
Johnny Heitinga will take charge of Liverpool on the touchline.
The former Everton defender is Slot's assistant, having joined the club last summer.
