Swiss boss handed FIFA charge

Ottmar Hitzfeld has been charged with misconduct after apparently making an offensive gesture to the referee in Switzerland's draw with Norway.

Swiss boss Hitzfeld was pictured raising his middle finger - seemingly towards Spanish referee David Fernandez Borbalan - during Friday night's World Cup qualifier.

FIFA's disciplinary committee has announced they have opened disciplinary proceedings against former Bayern Munich boss Hitzfeld and he has 10 days to respond.
