Jose Mourinho has been given a one-match stadium ban and a £40,000 ($61,712) fine by the Football Association.

The Chelsea boss was hit with a misconduct charge after being sent to the stands during his side’s 2-1 defeat at West Ham last month. An Independent Regulatory Commission confirmed Mourinho’s punishment which will take immediate effect.

An FA statement read: “Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today, Jose Mourinho has been given a one-match stadium suspension with immediate effect and fined £40,000 ($61,712).

“The Chelsea manager admitted an FA charge of misconduct regarding his language and/or behavior towards the match officials in or around the dressing room area during half-time of the game against West Ham United on 24 October 2015.”

Saturday’s defeat to Liverpool was Chelsea’s sixth in 11 Premier League games and left them languishing 15th in the table, just four points clear of the relegation zone.
