FIGC hands Mourinho two-match touchline ban

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC), has handed a two-match touchline ban to AS Roma boss, Jose Mourinho, after he was sent off during his side’s 2-2 draw with Hellas Verona on Saturday.

Mourinho was sent off during the final stages of the much entertaining and drama-filled tie with Hellas Verona for remonstrating with referee Luca Pairetto, before kicking a ball into the stands.

Mourinho made a telephone gesture towards Pairetto, which Italian media reported was in reference to his father Pierluigi, who was involved in the Italian match-fixing scandal of 2006.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) said Mourinho “made serious allegations” against the referee, and entered the pitch “with a threatening attitude, blatantly disputing the refereeing decision”.

The Portuguese coach, who left the stadium without stopping for post-match media duties following his side’s draw, has also been fined 20,000 Euros ($23,000).

This means Mourinho will not be in the dugout for their trip to Spezia and the home match against Atalanta.
