Jose Mourinho slapped with ban after Anthony Taylor Europa League final abuse

Jose Mourinho has been hit with a four-match ban by UEFA after verbally abusing Manchester official Anthony Taylor following the Europa League final.

Taylor was the referee for the showpiece between Mourinho's Roma and Sevilla, which the Spanish side won on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Former Manchester United boss Mourinho was angry with some of the decisions made during the game and ranted at Taylor in a car park after the contest. In video footage which later emerged on social media he was seen gesticulating at Taylor and officials and heard saying “disgrace”.

Speaking after the game, Mourinho accused the Wythenshawe official of favouring Sevilla and said Taylor 'seemed Spanish to me.' The Portuguese faced widespread criticism in the aftermath and was charged by UEFA on June 2.
