Jose Mourinho handed 10 day suspension after swearing at Italian referee Daniele Chiffi

The incident took place in May

Due to remarks he made regarding a referee, Jose Mourinho, who is in charge of Roma, has been given a 10-day punishment at the beginning of the Serie A campaign.

The FIGC, the main federal court of Italy's football association, has penalised Mourinho for calling official Daniele Chiffi:

“the worst referee (he) had ever seen” during Roma’s match against Monza on May 3.

The initial 10 days of the new European season will see the Portuguese, who has also coached Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham, barred from the sidelines and the locker room. Additionally, he was given a 50,000 euro (just over £43,000) fine.

After mistreating English referee Anthony Taylor during the Europa League final on May 31, Mourinho was given a four-match suspension by UEFA last week. Following Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Monza, Roma's bid for European qualifying took a hit.

After Luca Caldirola of Monza erased Stephan El Shaarawy's early goal, Roma was left outside of Serie A's European spots. After that game, he took out his frustration in the press conference and said:

‘'Believe me, I have dealt with many bad referees. Usually, when I talk about referees, it is because they have a direct influence on the game.''

‘'In this case, I don’t think that is true. But he is horrible, he makes no human connection with anyone, he has no empathy, he gives a red card to a player who slips because he is exhausted at the 96th minute.''

‘'Unfortunately, this too is a sign of Roma’s weakness as a club, because we do not have the strength of other clubs who can say we don’t want this referee. I stopped working 20-30 minutes from the end, because I knew he would give me a red card for anything.''

‘'There are clubs that say I don’t want this referee and Roma either don’t have this capability or the DNA or anything else. It’s horrible, with the few players I have in my squad, I could not get a red card.’'
