London: Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been handed a one-match touchline ban for the second time this season after he admitted an improper conduct charge following his sending off at the weekend, the FA said on Wednesday.
The Portuguese, who was also fined 16,000 pounds ($19,982), was banished from the dugout in the 27th minute of Sunday's 1-1 home Premier League draw with West Ham United after kicking a water bottle down the touchline following a booking for midfielder Paul Pogba that he felt was unjust.Also Read: Jose Mourinho Sent Off As Manchester United Held Again At Home
"Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today... Jose Mourinho will serve a one-match touchline ban with immediate effect," the FA said in a statement.
The former Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Porto boss was banned from the touchline for one match and fined a total of 58,000 pounds ($71,972) for two separate incidents of misconduct in October.
He admitted using abusive and/or insulting language towards Clattenburg and was fined 8,000 pounds for the incident and banned from the touchline for one game.
Mourinho was also charged and fined a further 50,000 pounds for comments he made about referee Anthony Taylor ahead of a game against Liverpool.
