Former Chelsea manager charged by UEFA

Former Chelsea and now AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho has been charged by European football body UEFA for abusive words before and after his side UEL’s loss to Sevilla.

Recall that Mourinho expressed his anger with referee Anthony Taylor throughout the Europa League final at Puskas Arena Park in Hungary.

The former Chelsea coach was furious with decisions made by Taylor as his side lost 4-1 on penalties following a 1-1 draw.

A report via Sky Sports reports that Mourinho has been charged by UEFA for language directed at Taylor.

While details of the charge are yet to be made public, the Portuguese’s actions during the final have drawn criticism.

Footage released after the match showed Mourinho directing expletive remarks toward Taylor in the car park at the stadium.

The former Blues manager went on to blast the referee’s performance, saying (via 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.”
