Roma coach Mourinho banned for 2 matches: 'He addressed fourth official with seriously offensive language'

Roma coach Jose Mourinho has been suspended for two matches after his dismissal last night against Cremonese.

Mourinho was sent off for abusing the match officials during the shock 2-1 defeat.

The Giudice Sportivo announced this morning Mourinho had been banned for two games: "For having, in the 2nd minute of the second half, vehemently and provocatively contested an referee decision, reiterating this behavior at the time of the expulsion order; furthermore, at the end of the match, entering, even if authorised, in the referee dressing room addressed to the Fourth Official, seriously offensive expressions and inferences."

For the Portuguese manager, there was also a fine of €10,000.
