The sports tribunal of the Italian Serie A has suspended AS Roma coach José Mourinho for two games and fined him 20,000 euros. Shortly before the end of the game last Saturday at home against Hellas Verona (2: 2), the Portuguese made “serious allusions” to the referee, the judges ruled on Tuesday. Mourinho also entered the field threateningly. As a result, the referee showed him the red card.

The anger apparently went back to the four minutes of added time. That was probably not enough for Mourinho after his team had previously caught up from a 0-2 deficit. Rome’s goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos also suspended the court for two games for insulting the referee towards the end of the game. Manager Tiago Pinto has been suspended until March 8 for tackling the referee in the players’ tunnel after the final whistle. He later apologized for it.
