Jose Mourinho will watch the weekend's Premier League match against Swansea from the stands after being handed a one-match touchline ban for his actions against Burnley last weekend.
TheFA confirmedon Wednesday evening that theManchester United boss admitted a charge of using abusive and/or insulting words to a match official, handing him the ban and a £8,000 fine for the incident.
Jose Mourinho to serve one-match touchline ban after admitting FA charge: https://t.co/zaLiNkbKMs
The Portuguese was also handed a much heftier £50,000fine for improper conduct after media comments about referee Anthony Taylor before last month's Premier League game against Liverpool - although that charge did not bring a further ban with it.
Speaking in the buildup to the Monday night game, Mourinho had said:I think Mr Taylor is a very good referee but because such pressure is being put on him I think it will be difficult for him to have a very good performance at Anfield.
"I don't really want to say too much more on the matter. I have my view but I have learned a lesson, if you want to call it that, by being punished so many times for my words about referees.�
Given his past record and having two charges so close to each other, I'm surprised Mourinho got off relatively lightly.
The FA's full statement read: "Jose Mourinho has been fined £50,000 in relation to media comments he made prior to Manchester United's game at Liverpool on 17 October 2016.
"An Independent Regulatory Commission heard that Mourinho accepted the comments he made on 14 October 2016 constituted improper conduct but denied they brought the game into disrepute, in contravention of Rule E3(1).
That's up to a total of £198,000 in recent FA fines for Mourinho. Fining an incredibly wealthy man isn't really going to work, is it?
"The Commission found the disrepute element of the charge proven and as well as being fined, Mourinho was warned as to his future conduct.Separate to this, Mourinho will serve an immediate one-match touchline ban after he admitted using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official and accepted the standard penalty.
"The incident happened in or around the tunnel area during half-time of United's game against Burnley on 30 October 2016.As well as the suspension, the standard penalty for this breach of FA Rule E3 also includes an £8,000 fine."
