Jose Mourinho Charged With Improper Conduct By FA Following Dismissal Against West Ham

Published on: 27 November 2016

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been charged with improper conduct by the FA following his dismissal from the dugout in the club's draw with West Ham on Sunday.


Mourinho kicked a bottle in frustration on the touchline after seeing Paul Pogba booked for diving, and was sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss following the incident. It's not the first time Mourinho has been in hot water with the FA this season either, as they took action to the United boss for comments made about referee Anthony Taylor in the lead up to United's visit to Liverpool in October.

The Portuguese was also sent to the stands in the home draw with Burnley byMark Clattenburg for verbal misconduct, and the two incidents landed the ex-Chelsea boss a one-match ban. He now however faces two matches away from the dugout following the latest charge.
