AS Roma boss Jose Mourinho has been given a two-match touchline ban after he was sent off during Roma’s 2-2 draw with Verona on Saturday.
Mourinho went onto the pitch to argue with referee Luca Pairetto before kicking the ball into the crowd.
Mourinho “made significant claims” against Pairetto, according to the Italian Football Federation, and stormed the pitch “with a threatening manner.”
A punishment of 20,000 Euros (£16,670) was also imposed on the Portuguese manager.
He made a phone motion towards Pairetto, which Italian media speculated was a reference to his father Pierluigi, who was allegedly engaged in the 2006 Italian match-fixing affair.
The former Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham manager then exited the Stadio Olimpico without pausing for his post-match press conference.
He will miss the trip to Spezia on Sunday and the home fixture against Atalanta on March 5 due to his suspension.
Roma pulled back from a two-goal deficit to claim a point thanks to Edoardo Bove’s late equalizer.
After the draw, Mourinho’s team is in eighth place in Serie A, six points outside of the UEFA Champions League places.
