A.S Roma manager, Jose Mourinho, has been handed a four-match ban by UEFA for insulting referee, Anthony Taylor during the Europa League final.
It would be recalled that Roma played against
Sevilla in the Europa League final on May 31, 2023.
An enraged Mourinho, however, after the match
was seen in viral footage shared on social media accosting Taylor and his team
in the car park and labelling their performance a “disgrace.”
Again the Portuguese professional football
manager, former Manchester United and Chelsea boss extended his criticism to
the post-match conference, calling the officials unprintable names.
Roma supporters also harassed Taylor and his
family as they made their way home from the final.
Meanwhile, Sevilla defeated Roma on penalties
in the final of the Europa League, ending Mourinho’s 100 per cent record in
European finals.
During the match, British referee Taylor
dished out 14 yellow cards, the most ever in a Europa League game, and played
almost 30 minutes of stoppage time in total.
While Mourinho was individually charged, both
clubs have also been charged with a number of offences by UEFA.
