Guus Hiddink was knocked over during a scuffle following Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
A bad-tempered clash at Stamford Bridge ended with Leicester being crowned Premier League champions after Tottenham threw away a two-goal lead and with it their hopes of title glory.
Tottenham had nine players booked and Chelsea three in a match which also saw Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele appear to attempt to eye-gouge Diego Costa.

Following the final whistle, Blues interim manager Hiddink headed for the tunnel but appeared to lose his footing and took a heavy tumble.
The Dutchman's fall provoked pushing and shoving from both sets of players with Chelsea's Diego Costa and Tottenham duo Danny Rose and Michael Vorm involved.

Hiddink was helped back to his feet and headed down the tunnel while the brawl continued in his absence as security staff attempted to restore order.
The 69-year-old, who will be replaced by Antonio Conte in the summer, revealed after regaining his composure that former Blues boss Ranieri phoned to thank him for helping Leicester win the title.
"A few minutes after the final whistle, after the judo, I got a call from Ranieri," Hiddink said.
"His voice was trembling a bit. I don't know if he was crying. He said five times thanks."
