Prem bosses will bring in tough new measures to improve respect towards referees for next season.
Roma boss Jose Mourinho’s appalling behaviour after the Europa League final when he launched a foul-mouthed tirade at referee Anthony Taylor has brought the issue into sharp focus. PGMOL boss Howard Webb is keen to bring about change and is determined to bring in “real steps” for next season to clamp down on managers and players.
Clubs were warned last summer about managers’ behaviour in technical areas and also players surrounding referees and the Football Association issued heavy fines and touchline bans.
