AS Roma manager, Jose Mourinho, has been handed a two-game touchline ban after he was sent off during his side’s 2-2 draw with Hellas Verona.
Mourinho was sent off in the final stages of the Saturday’s match at the Stadio Olimpico for remonstrating with referee Luca Pairetto, before kicking a ball into the stands.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) said Mourinho “made serious allegations” against the referee, and entered the pitch “with a threatening attitude, blatantly disputing the refereeing decision”.
The former Chelsea coach also kicked the ball away and made a telephone gesture towards Pairetto, which Italian media reported was in reference to his father Pierluigi, who was involved in the Italian match-fixing scandal of 2006.

According to Reuters, the Portuguese coach, who left the stadium without stopping for post-match media duties following his side’s draw, has also been fined 20,000 Euros ($23,000).
Roma are eighth in Serie A after three straight draws. Mourinho will not be in the dugout for their trip to Spezia and the home match against Atalanta.
