If they’re sprinting on the FoP and having a gander round it then yes, if it’s just a yard or so on, then back off fairly quickly, I wouldn’t be cautioning
I had to send one off once. After a feisty match team A score a 93rd minute equaliser, and the manager sprints onto the pitch across the 18 yard box to celebrate with his team. I'm like your an idiot I should be booking you but I see why you are excited so just try to tell him to get off the pitch. The team B keeper then gets in a scuffle with a team A player over the ball for the restart of play - so I shout at them to back off each other and leave it. The manager the gets involved and starts shoving the keeper. They then split off and go for the reset and I go wait a minute; caution the keeper, caution the player (Who was already on a yellow for AA the idiot) and send him off, and finally send the manager off. Restart the game and blow the final whistle with a whole bunch of paperwork to do . Surprisingly the manager I sent of still needed to pay me and did without issue.
So in total, it depends on context as others have said. Jumps a few feet on the pitch to celebrate and gets off, leave it. Runs across the pitch celebrating, yellow. Gets involved with a opponent aggregating them (100% physical, could be verbal some of the time), its a red for me.
