Association after head butting Hull midfielder David Meyler. Continue reading to watch the VIDEO
He
has until 6 March to contest the charge, which could lead to a long ban.
With
the Magpies 3-1 up, Pardew was angered when 24-year-old Meyler shoved past him
in an attempt to retrieve the ball to take a throw-in.
The
pair came together, with the former Reading, West Ham, Charlton and Southampton
boss pushing his head into the face of the Hull player, before Pardew was sent
from the touchline.
In September 2012, Pardew
was fined £20,000 and given a two match ban for pushing assistant
referee Peter Kirkup in a 2-1 win over Tottenham.
After Saturday's match,
the Newcastle boss said: "I did not mean any damage to the guy but I have
moved my head forward. I tried to push him away with my head.
Analys
"I apologise to
everyone. I should not have got involved. I don't think it was a headbutt. It
wasn't a motion that was quick."
Pardew
has been in charge of Newcastle since December 2010, winning 59 of 152 games in
all competitions.
