REVEALED: The expletive-ridden rant that led to Jose Mourinho being banned

F*****g hell!

Robert Redmond

Jose Mourinho has been given a one-match stadium ban and a £40,000 fine.

But now we know the exact reason why.

Referee Jonathan Moss submitted his written reasons for Mourinho to be banned following his behaviour towards the match officials during the game in West Ham’s victory over Chelsea.

Moss claims Mourinho screamed at him: “You f**king referees are weak…Wenger is right about you…you are f**king weak.”

In his report to the Independent Regulatory Commission he explained the incident in full.

When myself and my colleagues left the field of play at half time, as we entered the tunnel area to get to our dressing room, Mr Mourinho the Chelsea Manager was waiting for us clearly agitated and began aggressively asking about first half decisions.

Rather than publically speak to him I asked him to step into the entrance of my dressing room escorted by Simon Sutton, the West Ham United Security Manager.

Mr Mourinho asked me about a tackle, an offside and a goal line clearance. I gave him brief answers to his questions. After this I asked him to leave the dressing room area. He refused.

I asked him again. After he refused again I asked Mr Sutton to escort him from the room. At this point Mr Mourinho became very aggressive and animated.

He shouted that you f**king referees are weak…Wenger is right about you…you are f**king weak. I advised Mr Mourinho not to take his position in the technical area for the second half due to his actions.
