The Football Association have fined Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho £50,000 and given the Portuguese a suspended one-match stadium ban after he was found in breach of FA Rules earlier this month. Following Chelsea's 3-1 defeat to Southampton on October 3, Mourinho launched a seven-minute rant during a television interview, when he claimed that match officials were "afraid" to give decisions to the Blues.
It was alleged that his remarks "constituted improper conduct in that they alleged and/or implied bias on the part of a match official" and now the FA have dished out a fine of £50,000 and given the Portuguese a suspended one-match ban after he admitted to a breach of the rules. A statement on the
FA's official website read:
"Mr Mourinho's suspended stadium ban will be immediately invoked should he be found by an Independent Regulatory Commission to have committed a further breach of FA Rule E3 for any comment or statement to or through the media before 13 October 2016."
