Jose Mourinho, the manager of Roma, has received a four-match European suspension for insulting referee Anthony Taylor during the Europa League final.

After his outburst during the Europa League final, Roma manager Jose Mourinho has been banned from European football for four matches.

Roma lost on penalties to Sevilla in the Europa League final, and Mourinho was furious after the game, waiting in the car park for referee Anthony Taylor and calling him a “disgrace.” He also hinted to referee prejudice, claiming that during the final, the English official “looked Hispanic.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Taylor was subsequently abused at the airport by irate Roma fans as he attempted to make his way home from Hungary with his family, and UEFA has taken the decision to give Mourinho a four-game ban from European competition. Roma finished sixth in Serie A last season and have qualified for the Europa League, so Mourinho will only be in the dugout for two group-stage matches.

WHAT THEY SAID: UEFA said in their statement: “To suspend AS Roma head coach, Mr. José Mourinho, for the next four (4) UEFA club competition matches in which he would otherwise participate, for directing abusive language at a match official.”

ND WHAT’S MORE: Roma have also been punished as a club. They have been forbidden from selling tickets to away fans for their next European game due to the “lighting of fireworks,  throwing of objects, acts of damage and crowd disturbances.” They have been fined €5,000 for the improper conduct of the team, too, and they have also been ordered to contact the Hungarian FA for the settlement of damages caused by supporters.
