Roma coach Jose Mourinho has been given a four-match suspension by UEFA for his behaviour at last month’s Europa League final.

The Portuguese faced widespread criticism after he directed abuse at English referee Anthony Taylor following his side’s defeat to Sevilla.

UEFA also announced West Ham fans would be banned from their next away match in European competition, with a further match suspended for two years.
