Jose Mourinho has considered the prospect of contesting the FA's charge for allegedly using an abusive language in Manchester United's dramatic comeback win over Newcastle on October 6, according to Sky Sports.
It is alleged that the ex-Chelsea manager shouted "f*** off sons of b*****s" in his native Portuguese language at the camera's while he headed for the tunnel after the victory. This is said to have ensued as a result of the provocation engineered by the fact that the Portuguese manager was set to be sacked regardless of the outcome of the clash with Newcastle, as per multiple reports.
In view of this, the Red Devils manager felt victimized and cited that there was a "manhunt" against him. Following a review of the incident by the Football Association, the 55-year-old was given up to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, October 24, to appeal the decision or risk getting punished.
In the original statement, the FA declared: "It is alleged that his language at the end of the fixture, as captured by the broadcast footage, was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper."
In last weekend's Premier League outing, Jose Mourinho was involved in yet another controversy. This came after Ross Barkley's 96th-minute goal sparked wild celebrations in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Amid the heat of the moment, Chelsea assistant coach Marco Ianni deliberately celebrated the equalizer in front of the former Blues' employee, immediately sparking a reaction from the Manchester United bench.
Nonetheless, Jose Mourinho was only cautioned for his involvement in the fracas upon a review by the FA. On the other hand, the instigator, Marco Ianni – who has already apologized to the Manchester United boss for his actions – faces disciplinary action from the English football governing body.
