Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho fined and given suspended one-match stadium ban

Jose Mourinho fined for comments against Southampton

JOSE MOURINHO has been fined £50,000 and been given a suspended one-match stadium ban for his comments following defeat to Southampton.

 

The Chelsea boss reacted angrily to defeat, blaming the referee for failing to give a penalty for a foul on Radamel Falcao.

The Blues lost 3-1 at Stamford Bridge after Steven Davis, Sadio Mane and Graziano Pelle responded to Willian's opener.

And Mourinho then gave a stunning seven-minute response to one question in the post match interview.

 

"He (Robert Madley) was afraid to give it like everyone else is afraid to give it," said Mourinho.

"Why? Because there is always a question mark from you [the media] and always a critic so we are always punished.

"The penalty in this game is more than crucial because my team, at the moment, the first negative thing that happens... they collapse.

"After that the team lost even more confidence. Mentally, psychologically, the team is unbelievably down.

"If the Football Association wants to punish me they can. They don't punish other managers."

 

And the FA have indeed punished the Portuguese.

"The Chelsea manager was charged for misconduct following the game against Southampton on Saturday 3 October 2015," the FA statement read.

"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."
