Jose Mourinho Gets Severe Punishment from Serie A Hierarchy

The manager of AS Roma, Jose Mourinho has been hit with a huge fine following the incident between himself and the fourth official in a league game.

Mourinho was sent off in the game between Roma and the relegation-threatened side, Cremonese in a Serie A game. The Portuguese were not happy about a decision that was taken against his team during the first half of the game and he vented his anger towards the assistant referee.

Serie A confirmed that Mourinho entered the referee's dressing room and used offensive language against the fourth official. The governing body of the league has confirmed that he will not be on the touchline for two games and has also been fined £8,800. However, he is looking to seek legal action against the decision.

I am not crazy, I reacted in that way because something happened. We will see if I can do something from a legal point of view. For the first time in my career, a referee spoke to me in an inexcusable way.

This decision means he will not be available for the game against Juventus and Sassuolo on March 5th and 12th respectively.
