After being caught on camera yelling at officials after AS Roma’s defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League final, Jose Mourinho (60), the Portuguese manager, has been charged with using abusive language on a match official, according to regulatory body UEFA.
Referee Anthony Taylor drew the wrath of Roma’s manager following Wednesday’s shootout loss to Sevilla in the UEFA second-tier final,
Taylor issued 14 yellow cards during the game, the most ever in a Europa League game, and he played nearly 30 minutes of stoppage time in total, which contributed to the tense atmosphere.
The match was tetchy with Taylor dishing out 14 yellow cards, the most ever in a Europa League game, and playing almost 30 minutes of stoppage time in total.
Mourinho, who yelled expletives at the officials outside the Puskas Arena, was also critical of the refereeing in comments after the game, saying, “it was an intense, masculine, vibrant game with a referee who seemed Spanish. It was yellow, yellow, yellow all the time.”
The day after the match, videos circulated on social media showing English referee Taylor and his family being harassed by Roma fans at Budapest Airport.
In the video, fans of the Serie A club could be seen abusing Taylor and his family, who required protection from airport security as they sought refuge in a safe area.
PGMOL, which oversees refereeing in English professional football, condemned the incident.
Both teams’ supporters were also charged with setting off fireworks and throwing objects, while Roma’s fans were alleged to have committed acts of damage along with other crowd disturbances.
Sevilla have additionally been charged over a pitch invasion by their supporters, who raced out onto the field after Gonzalo Montiel fired home the winning spot kick.
