Jose Mourinho, the head coach of AS Roma, has been given a four-match suspension in the Europa League by UEFA. This comes after Mourinho used abusive language towards referee Anthony Taylor.

Roma has been penalized with a fine of 55,000 euros and a prohibition on selling tickets to their away fans for their upcoming match. This punishment was imposed due to various incidents that occurred during the final, including the use of fireworks, throwing objects, causing damage, and disturbances among the crowd.
Additionally, the team’s behavior was deemed improper. The club has also been instructed to communicate with the Hungarian Football Federation within a month to resolve the damages caused by their supporters at the stadium. Despite these penalties, Roma managed to secure a sixth-place finish in Serie A, granting them qualification for the Europa League in the following season.
