Jose Mourinho has been suspended for four UEFA club competition matches after directing abusive language at a match official in the Europa League final.
Mourinho was charged by UEFA for using abusive language against a match official after confrontations with Anthony Taylor during and after the Europa League final.
The Roma manager and his staff were abusive towards the Premier League referee. Numerous times during the defeat to Sevilla in Budapest.
After the game, footage showed Mourinho using swearwords at the officials in the car park, labeling their performance a “disgrace”.
English referee, Anthony Taylor, and his family were also harassed as they made their way home from the final.
UEFA said in a statement that it “vehemently condemns violent behavior directed towards its referee Anthony Taylor and his family. Such actions are unacceptable and undermine the spirit of fair play and respect UEFA upholds.”
The European governing body also called for “a safe and respectful environment for all participants. Including referees, and will not tolerate any form of violent behavior towards them.”
