Swindon Town boss Ian Holloway was sent off during the latter stages of his side's 1-0 pre-season friendly victory against Spanish club Costa City in Alicante.
The club confirmed that the 63-year-old was dismissed in the 89th minute after an altercation with a Costa City player.
Friday's match, played in blisteringly hot conditions, was decided by a second-half penalty from Fletcher Holman.
The club added that Holloway reacted "following an incident of unsportsmanlike conduct by one of the opposition's players off the field" after it was alleged that the former Queens Park Rangers, Blackpool and Crystal Palace manager had been struck in the face by the ball.
