UEFA announced on Wednesday that AS Roma head coach Jose Mourinho has been suspended for the club’s next four Europa League matches after using profane language toward referee Anthony Taylor.
The club has also been fined.
Mourinho’s criticism of the officiating after Roma’s defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League final resulted in Taylor and his family being accosted at Budapest Airport by supporters of the Italian club.
Roma were fined a total of 55,000 euros ($63,464) and prohibited from selling tickets to their away fans for their next match for “setting off fireworks, throwing objects, acts of vandalism, and crowd disturbances” and “improper team conduct” during the final.
Additionally, the Italian club was ordered to reach out to the Hungarian Football Federation within thirty days to resolve the damages caused by fans in the stadium.
Roma finished sixth in Serie A to qualify for next season’s Europa League.

After winning the final, West Ham will compete in the Europa League the following season.
