Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association for his language and/or behaviour towards the match officials at half time in the Blues’ defeat to West Ham at Upton Park on Saturday.

The Portuguese boss was sent to the stands for the second half after trying to enter the referee’s office at the half-time interval.

Nemanja Matic was sent-off during the defeat, while goalline technology concluded that Kurt Zouma’s header had not crossed the line.
And Mourinho’s now been charged with misconduct for his language and/or behaviour towards the match officials.

If he’s found guilty, Mourinho could be suspended for Saturday’s clash with Liverpool after a charge earlier this month in which he received a suspended ban.

FA statement

Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct in relation to his language and/or behaviour towards the match officials in or around the dressing room area at half-time.

Chelsea coach Silvino Louro has also been charged with misconduct in relation to his behaviour which led to his 45th minute dismissal from the technical area.

West Ham have been charged for failing to control their players in the 44th minute of the game and Chelsea have also been charged with the same offence for an alleged breach in the 45th minute of the game.

All parties have until 6pm on Thursday [29 October 2015] to reply.
