Jose Mourinho: Chelsea boss fined for improper conduct
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been fined £8,000 by the Football
Association for "improper conduct" during his side's Premier League
match against Cardiff on Saturday.
Mourinho, 50, was ordered from the technical area by referee Anthony Taylor after protesting about apparent time-wasting
during the 4-1 win.
He did not appeal and can be in the Stamford Bridge dugout on Sunday.
"I accept the fine and against Manchester City I can work," he said.
"What the referee wrote is true. I wasn't aggressive, I wasn't offensive, I just had a disagreement."
"[Referee Taylor] is honest and fair [in the report]," added the Chelsea boss.
"What he writes is exactly what happened and exactly why I didn't understand why I went to the stands. And it's exactly why the punishment is just a fine."
Mourinho was last ordered to the stands in May when he was Real Madrid manager.
He protested after a decision went against his team in the Copa del Rey final defeat by city rivals Atletico.
