Ugly scenes broke out towards the end of the Stamford Bridge clash on Monday night after the Blues boss was sent to the stands in stoppage time.
The FA said in a statement: “Maurizio Sarri has been charged with misconduct in relation to his behaviour in the 94th minute of Monday’s Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Burnley.
“The Chelsea manager has until 18:00 on Friday to provide a response.”
Reports have since emerged claiming Sarri was repeatedly called a ‘s*** Italian’ by members of Burnley’s backroom staff and Chelsea are believed to have lodged a formal complaint.
