The Spurs manager approached the official at full-time, entering the pitch and appearing visibly angry as he spoke to the official, continuing his tirade even after being told to walk away.
Spurs were angry about a decision to award a corner to Burnley from which Chris Wood opened the scoring, though Pochettino accepted after the match that he had “made a mistake” in confronting Dean.
An FA statement read: “Mauricio Pochettino has been charged with two breaches of FA Rule E3 following the game against Burnley on Saturday.
“It is alleged the Tottenham Hotspur manager’s language and/or behaviour at the end of the fixture – both on the pitch and in or around the tunnel area – amounted to improper conduct.
“He has until 18:00 [GMT] on 28 February 2019 to respond to the charge.”
