Mainz coach Jurgen Klopp will appear before the German Football Association to explain why he called referee Thorsten Kinhofer an "idiot" during his side's 2-0 defeat to Werder Bremen at the weekend.
The remark was clearly audible on live television, prompting the DFB to launch an investigation into the 39-year-old's touchline tirade.
He has until early next week to present his side of the story in a written statement to the DFB.
