UEFA has punished AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho with using disrespectful and abusive words during and after his team’s Europa League final loss to Sevilla on Thursday.
Throughout the Europa League final at Puskas Arena Park in Hungary, Mourinho was enraged with referee Anthony Taylor.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United manager was enraged by Taylor’s decisions as his team fell 4-1 in penalties after a 1-1 deadlock.
According to Sky Sports, UEFA has charged the Portuguese with insulting Taylor.
The charge’s specifics have yet to be revealed, but Mourinho’s conduct during the final have received criticism.
Mourinho can be seen in post-match film screaming expletives at Taylor in the stadium’s parking lot.
The former Real Madrid and Inter Milan manager later slammed the referee’s performance, saying (according to the aforementioned source): “I must say we are used to it, but seeing this kind of refereeing in a European final is really, really hard.”
