The Portuguese coach showed his worst side after the game by blasting the English official to his face

UEFA are considering disciplinary proceedings against Jose Mourinho following his behaviour during and after the Europa League final between Sevilla and Roma. The Portuguese coach confronted the bench during the match and, after the match ended in defeat, did not hesitate to attack the referees for feeling wronged. But he did not stop there. The Portuguese finished off his lamentable behaviour by chasing the main referee, Anthony Taylor, around the garage of the Puskas Arena shouting "you're a fucking disgrace".

He rebuked him, insulted him and reproached him for his performance with a more than unpleasant tone and it could bring a response from UEFA. According to the newspaper 'MARCA', the highest European body is studying the possibility of sanctioning the Portuguese coach "in accordance with article 55 of the Disciplinary Regulations, highlighting the one dedicated to José Mourinho for the insults to the refereeing team in the garage of the stadium".

The information also states that the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) will decide on the matter in a few days' time. The sanction against the Portuguese coach could be significant after the insults he hurled at both the referees and UEFA officials.

Mourinho's performance also inflamed the Roma fans, who did not hesitate to chase the referee Anthony Taylor around the airport as he was insulted and insulted. UEFA does not want to miss the opportunity to impose heavy sanctions. 

The coach may not be the only one to be sanctioned. The top body is also charging Roma with throwing objects, setting off fireworks, acts of mischief, multiple disorderly conduct and team misconduct.
