According to UEFA, after AS Roma lost to Sevilla in the Europa League final, coach Mourinho criticized and even insulted referee Anthony Taylor. Not only that, the Portuguese coach also went to the English referee's car to continue scolding. This action of coach Mourinho was one of the reasons why Anthony Taylor and his family were harassed at Budapest airport by AS Roma fans.
UEFA has banned coach Jose Mourinho from directing 4 matches. The sanction will be effective in UEFA matches starting from the 2023-2024 season. This means coach Mourinho will miss 4 of Roma's 6 matches in the Europa League group stage next season.
Coach Mourinho will be absent from 4 matches of AS Roma in the European arena.
On June 1, in the Europa League final between AS Roma and Sevilla, the 60-year-old coach said that referee Anthony Taylor was biased towards Sevilla in many situations and ignored a handball in the penalty area by a Sevilla player. Although Mr. Anthony Taylor consulted VAR, he still decided not to award AS Roma a penalty kick, which angered coach Mourinho. The Italian team drew 1-1 with Sevilla after 120 minutes of play and then lost in the penalty shootout.
AS Roma were also fined €50,000 and banned from selling tickets to away fans for their next European match due to their failure to control security during matches last season. The Italian team allowed their fans to set off fireworks, throw objects and cause disturbances. AS Roma were also fined €5,000 for the improper behaviour of their players and coaching staff during the Europa League final.
AS Roma also received additional penalties from UEFA
In relation to European matches, Conference League champions West Ham United were also fined €58,000 after the English team's fans threw objects onto the pitch and caused Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi to bleed from the head.
