Tonda Eckert is free to continue as Southampton manager after being given a suspended ban for his role in the Spygate scandal.
A Football Association independent regulatory commission handed the German a six-week ban from all football, but suspended it until the end of next season.
Eckert has also been given a £28,000 fine and a reprimand.
But both he and his club will be hugely relieved he has not received the kind of lengthy ban that could have cost him his job.
