Jose Mourinho receives stadium ban and £40,000 FA fine

Jose Mourinho has been given a one-match stadium ban with immediate effect and has been fined £40,000 by the Football Association.

The punishment comes after Mourinho admitted a misconduct charge over his language and behaviour in the defeat to West Ham on 24 October.

Mourinho was sent to the stands after going to speak to referee Jon Moss in his room at half-time.

He will now miss Chelsea’s next league game, which is at Stoke on Saturday.

The stadium ban is separate to the suspended one he received along with a £50,000 fine for comments he made after the loss to Southampton on 3 October.

The Portuguese described that fine as a “disgrace” and appealed.

Mourinho’s assistant, Silvino Louro, was also charged by the FA after being dismissed during the match at West Ham in relation to his behaviour in the technical area.

In a statement, the FA withdrew an improper conduct charge against Louro but reminded of his responsibilities.
