Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is facing further punishment from the English FA for his actions in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham at Upton Park.
The Portuguese manager, who was already fined £50,000 and handed a one-match ban, though he has appealed the decision, forced his way into the referee’s room during the weekend defeat to confront Jon Moss, the match official.
The Special One, who was sent to the stands in the Hammers clash, is looking at a possible stadium ban after his abuse on the referee. One of several insults made by Mourinho at Moss was "Wenger was right — you are ****ing soft".
Assistant manager Silvino Louro has also been charged for misconduct.
Mourinho may be required to take an anger management course by the disciplinary commission after his most recent rant.
The former Real Madrid boss has until Thursday to respond to the latest charges, with the 52-year-old in risk of missing next Saturday’s crucial match against Liverpool.
A likely repercussion for Mourinho’s Saturday outburst could be a mere fine; however, the last regulatory commission admitted that financial punishment was no longer sufficient as means of disciplining Mourinho’s constant display of ill behavior.
The weekend fiasco involving Jose was instigated when he saw Serbian midfielder Nemanja Matic sent off for a second booking right before the break, with the London side already a goal down.
Prior to the red card, Chelsea were wrongfully denied a goal as offside, whilst a Kurt Zouma header, which appeared to have crossed the line, was not awarded, though goal line technology proved that that decision was spot on.
Chelsea’s horrendous 2015-16 season continues, with the defending English Premier League champions rotting in 15th place in the standings, enduring their worst ever start after 10 games, having lost 5.
