LONDON:
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been fined £8,000 and warned about his future conduct after being sent off at Aston Villa last month, announced the Football Association (FA) on Thursday.
A statement on the FA website said, "Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been fined £8,000 and warned as to his future conduct following an independent regulatory commission hearing."
Mourinho requested a personal hearing with the FA after he was charged with improper conduct for being sent to the stands by referee Chris Foy during the dying stages of a 1-0 loss at Villa Park in the Premier League.
"Mourinho denied a breach of FA rule E3 in that his behaviour in re-entering the field of play and approaching the match referee in an attempt to speak to him...amounted to improper conduct," said the FA.
"However, the charge was found proven at a personal hearing on Wednesday, April 9."
