Mourinho in more trouble, hit with second FA charge
Print Edition
MANCHESTER United manager Jose Mourinho faces a touchline ban after being charged with misconduct for the second time in less than a week by the Football Association yesterday.
The Portuguese’s latest brush with authority came after he was sent to the stands during Saturday’s frustrating goalless draw home to Burnley. Mourinho could now be hit with a ban if the FA charge of using abusive or insulting words towards a match official is upheld.
The United boss was dismissed at half-time for protesting too vehemently to the officials, having seen Matteo Darmian denied what the United manager felt was a penalty.
“Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct following Manchester United’s game against Burnley on Saturday (29 October 2016),” the FA said in a statement. “It is alleged that in or around the tunnel area at half-time he used abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official.”
Only last Thursday Mourinho was charged with misconduct over comments about referee Anthony Taylor ahead of United’s goalless draw against arch-rival Liverpool.
Mourinho did not show up for the press conference after the Burnley game. Asked why Mourinho had been sent to the stands, his assistant Rui Faria said, “I don’t know and I don’t think it is really important. I think what is important is what the referee will write in his report. I can’t give you more details.”
