Jose Mourinho will need to park the bus before arriving at Stoke, as Chelsea manager must leave team before they arrive

Jose Mourinho will have to get off the team bus before it has entered the Britannia Stadium car park at Stoke on Saturday or risk falling out with the FA yet again.

The Chelsea manager has vowed to stay with his team before their televised Barclays Premier League game until the last-possible moment despite serving a one-game stadium ban. 

That means that unless he gets off the bus before it crosses the security fences that surround the away-team parking bay, he will be in danger of incurring another ban.

Speaking to the media at Cobham on Friday, Mourinho

 revealed he may not even watch his side on Saturday

Mourinho insisted: ‘I travel with them and will be with them until the moment somebody stops me, which is, I think, when I am in the limit of the compound of the stadium.’

But FA rules make it clear he cannot enter the stadium or its car park. The disciplinary body are sure to monitor his movements, even though FA sources admitted yesterday it will be almost impossible to prevent him from contacting the bench during the game, as Sportsmail revealed on Friday.

In the biography Made in Portugal, Mourinho revealed he used ‘a small, sophisticated telecommunications device’ to send messages to his staff during a similar ban while manager of Porto in 2003. 

Meanwhile, the FA confirmed Sportsmail’s story that Mourinho called referee Jon Moss ‘f****** weak’ during the half-time confrontation at West Ham that resulted in his latest ban.

JON MOSS' FULL REPORT ON JOSE MOURINHO'S HALF-TIME ACTIONS

'When myself and my colleagues left the field of play at half time, as we entered the tunnel area to get to our dressing room, Mr Mourinho the Chelsea Manager was waiting for us clearly agitated and began aggressively asking about first half decisions. 

'Rather than publically speak to him I asked him to step into the entrance of my dressing room escorted by Simon Sutton, the West Ham United Security Manager. Mr Mourinho asked me about a tackle, an offside and a goal line clearance. I gave him brief answers to his questions. 

'After this I asked him to leave the dressing room area. He refused. I asked him again. After he refused again I asked Mr Sutton to escort him from the room. At this point Mr Mourinho became very aggressive and animated. 

'He shouted that you f****** referees are weak…Wenger is right about you…you are f****** weak. I advised Mr Mourinho not to take his position in the technical area for the second half due to his actions.'

Wembley chiefs, in releasing the written reasons for Mourinho’s punishment, confirmed that he said: ‘Wenger is right about you, you are f****** weak’, in a furious tirade against Moss during Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat at Upton Park two weeks ago.

Moss wrote in his official match report: ‘When myself and my colleagues left the field of play at half-time, as we entered the tunnel area to get to our dressing room, Mr Mourinho was waiting for us clearly agitated and began aggressively asking about first-half decisions. 

'Rather than publicly speak to him I asked him to step into the entrance of my dressing room escorted by Simon Sutton, the West Ham United security manager.

Saturday's punishment is the latest in a long list of problems that have blighted Chelsea and their manager this season.

Mourinho already has a suspended stadium ban hanging over him, while his future at Stamford Bridge has been called into question following a poor start to the season in which Chelsea have collected just 11 points from 11 games.

His long-running vendetta against the FA and referees is showing no signs of letting up, either. The usually chirpy Portuguese has been noticeably grouchy in recent weeks and he used yesterday’s press conference to explain why.

Mourinho has also complained about other managers being 

allowed to behave differently in the technical area

He even appeared to drag Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp into his battle with the English football authorities.

Mourinho said: ‘What has happened changes everything. The dimension of my punishment, the stadium ban that stays suspended, obviously affects everything. My answers, obviously, are going to be different. The way I participate with the game, obviously, is going to be different.

‘I had a game a few days ago where I stood for 90 minutes on my side. The other manager (Klopp) was jumping like Michael Jordan and nothing happened.

‘So, for me, I know everything is different. It’s all changed a lot. This is what I have. I have to adapt to it. I’m sad about it. But that’s what I have.’

In explaining his decision not to appeal against the ban, Mourinho added: ‘I know the result of that appeal already, and I decided to give up. It’s stupid to fight a fight that you know you’ll already lose.’
