Jose Mourinho admitted FA charge of misconduct

Jose Mourinho given one-game stadium ban and £40,000 fine after admitting misconduct charge issued by FA for West Ham ref rant.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho will serve a stadium ban for Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Stoke City after admitting to a Football Association charge.

Mourinho will also pay a £40,000 fine after his confession to the FA's charge of 'misconduct regarding his language and/or behaviour towards the match officials in or around the dressing room area during half-time' of last month's defeat by West Ham.

The Chelsea boss was sent to the stands in Chelsea's Upton Park defeat when he launched into a foul-mouthed half-time tirade at referee Jon Moss following Nemanja Matic's red card.

THE FA'S STATEMENT IN FULL:

Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today, Jose Mourinho has been given a one-match stadium suspension with immediate effect and fined £40,000.

The Chelsea manager admitted an FA charge of misconduct regarding his language and/or behaviour towards the match officials in or around the dressing room area during half-time of the game against West Ham United on 24 October 2015.

With regard to Chelsea coach Silvino Louro, who denied an FA misconduct charge in relation to the same game, The FA, having considered further representation, withdrew the formal charge of improper conduct but reminded him of his responsibilities.
