Defiant Mourinho facing FA improper conduct charge

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been charged with improper conduct after being sent to the stands during his side’s 4-1 win over Cardiff on Saturday.

The FA has given the Portuguese until 6pm on Thursday to respond to the charge.

There were a number of controversial incidents in the game, none more so than Chelsea’s disputed equaliser, and Mourinho was sent to the stands by referee Anthony Taylor after losing his cool.
