Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho facing stadium ban after telling referee Jon Moss: 'Arsene Wenger was right - you are ****ing soft!'

Jose Mourinho faces the threat of a stadium ban after refusing to leave the referee’s room during his showdown with Jon Moss at Upton Park on Saturday.

The Chelsea manager heaped more shame on the club after the FA charged him and his assistant Silvino Louro with misconduct following Saturday’s chaotic 2-1 defeat against West Ham.

Chelsea and West Ham have also been charged separately for failing to control their players during two controversial incidents just before half-time.

The FA acted on Monday night after reviewing referee Moss’s extraordinary incident report detailing Mourinho’s behaviour during the interval. There is also the possibility that the disciplinary commission will recommend — or instruct — Mourinho to take an anger management course. 

Among a stream of insults aimed at Moss as the teams and coaching staff made their way down the tunnel at half-time, Mourinho told him: ‘Wenger was right — you are ****ing soft’.

That could relate to Moss failing to adequately censure Arsene Wenger when the Arsenal manager shoved him during an altercation at Stamford Bridge in October 2014. Moss was the fourth official when the incident took place and Chelsea’s manager has always believed that he would have been severely punished by the FA had he been the offender.
