FA bans Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has been given a one-match stadium ban and fined £50,000 after he admitted a breach of FA Rules in relation to post-match media comments.

The Chelsea manager was charged for misconduct following the game against Southampton on Saturday 3 October 2015.


It was alleged his remarks constituted improper conduct in that they alleged and/or implied bias on the part of a match official or match officials and/or brought the game into disrepute.

Mr Mourinho’s suspended stadium ban will be immediately invoked should he be found by an Independent Regulatory Commission to have committed a further breach of FA Rule E3 for any comment or statement to or through the media before 13 October 2016.
