Rom.
The coach of the Italian first division club AS Roma, José Mourinho, has to pay a fine of 20,000 euros for negative comments about a referee.
The 60-year-old Portuguese and his club agreed to a corresponding settlement with the sports justice system of the Italian Football Association, as both sides announced on Friday in Rome. The club must also transfer the same amount to a charitable organization. The three-time Italian champions are currently in fourth place in Serie A.
At the beginning of the month, Mourinho complained massively about referee Matteo Marcenaro after a 2-1 win against league rivals US Sassuolo. He accused him of not having the “emotional stability” required to play at this level. The two-time Champions League winner and multiple champion coach has previously had to pay numerous fines for insulting referees or other officials. (dpa)
