SPECIAL GETS A DOUBLE

José Mourinho has been banned by UEFA for four European games for his disgraceful antics following his Roma team’s defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League final. Footage circulated after the May 31 final shows the Roma coach abusing English referee Anthony Taylor, calling him a “disgrace” with an expletive. Roma lost a penalty shootout to Sevilla after a 1-1 draw which was the Italian club’s last chance to qualify for the Champions League next season. Mourinho is set to serve the ban in the Europa League group stage starting in September after being found guilty of “directing abusive language at a match official,” UEFA said in a statement announcing its disciplinary panel’s verdict. The ban is double the minimum two-game ban required by UEFA disciplinary rules.
