Real Madrid boss
Jose Mourinho handed two-match ban after row with
referee
That's my
seat: Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands after a row with the
ref
The Spanish football
federation banned Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho for two matches
Friday for using inappropriate language to address a referee during
a match.
Mourinho was ejected
during Madrid's 5-1 win over Murcia on Wednesday in the Copa del Rey after
telling referee Jose Luis Paradas Romero to "go to
hell."
The federation said
it sanctioned Mourinho "for making observations to the referee" and
handed down the two-match ban "for addressing a referee in
disrespectful terms." The federation can ban a coach for up to a
month for infringing regulations.
Mourinho will miss
Sunday's match against Sporting Gijon at the El Molinon Stadium and
the following match against Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago
Bernabeu on November 20.
Unless
Madrid successfully appeals the decision, the
Portuguese coach will return to the bench for the match
against Barcelona
at the Camp Nou on November 29.
