At the end of the UEFA Cup decider, Roma manager Jose Mourinho openly provoked referee Anthony Taylor, and after the game, he "waited for the opportunity" in the parking area, and once again badmouthed the English referee. On Thursday (22nd), UEFA officially announced that Mourinho will be banned for four matches, and the "King of Inches" will not be able to direct the first four rounds of the UEFA Cup in the new season.
After Roma's defeat to Sevilla in the final of the Europa League, Mourinho accused Anthony Taylor and the VAR team of being "biased in favor of Spain" and then insulted the referee in the parking lot in a foul-mouthed rant, which ultimately resulted in a four-game suspension. Although Roma finished 6th in Serie A last season and will continue to play in the UEFA Cup this season, Mourinho's stay in the team will cause him to miss the first four rounds of the competition.
