Mourinho suspended for insulting referee | Breaking News

Roma head coach Jose Mourinho has been suspended for two matches after being sent off for an angry outburst at the referee on Saturday.

During Roma’s 2-2 draw against Verona in a Serie A game, Mourinho shouted at referee Luca Pairetto and mimed a phone call, an enigmatic gesture that got him a red card.

As a result of the draw, Roma fell six points behind Juventus, who hold the fourth Uefa Champions League place.

The sports judge said Mourinho “turned to the fourth official, made serious insinuations against the referee.”

The judge said the “insinuations” were repeated in the tunnel on the way to the changing room.

‘The Special One’ was also fined €20,000 ($22,660).

Meanwhile, Roma general manager Tiago Pinto was also suspended until March 8 for also making “serious insinuations” to the referee, a punishment that was reduced for later “apologising”.
