Liverpool boss Arne Slot was shown a red card last month, after James Tarkowski's 98th-minute strike salvaged a 2-2 draw for Everton at Goodison Park.
The red from Premier League referee Michael Oliver resulted in a touchline ban and a £70,000 fine for the Dutchman.
The FA have now revealed what was allegedly said by Slot.
"It was alleged that AS' manner was confrontational and aggressive. It was alleged that he initially used abusive words whilst shaking the Referee's hand including that the Referee had 'f****** give them everything' and that AS hoped that the Referee 'was proud of that performance'.
"The Referee thereafter confirms (having reviewed the video footage to clarify) that he was approached again by AS around one minute later. In this exchange, AS once again shook the Referee's hand and said 'If we don't win the league, I'll f****** blame you'. It is then further alleged that AS turned to the Assistant Referee and shouted twice that it was 'a f****** disgrace'.
"As a result of AS' conduct, he was shown a red card by the Referee."
