The Blues boss has also been fined £1,500 after admitting to a breach of FA Rule E3 for behaviour amounting to improper conduct in the 2-0 League Two defeat at Morecambe earlier this month.

The visitors found themselves 2-0 down at half-time following goals from Ryan Edwards and Tom Barkhuizen and despite a spirited second-half display were unable to find a way back into the game.

Cook’s ban will start at Exeter tomorrow.
