Mourinho fined for touchline antics

CHELSEA manager Jose Mourinho has been fined £8,000 ($A14,400) and warned about his future conduct after being sent off at Aston Villa last month, the Football Association announced on Thursday.

Mourinho requested a personal hearing with the FA after he was charged with improper conduct for being sent to the stands by referee Chris Foy during the dying stages of a 1-0 loss at Villa Park in the Premier League.

"Mourinho denied a breach of FA rule E3 in that his behaviour in re-entering the field of play and approaching the match referee in an attempt to speak to him ... amounted to improper conduct," the FA said.

"However, the charge was found proven at a personal hearing on Wednesday, April 9."

Mourinho was sent off following a touchline melee sparked by an ugly foul on Karim El Ahmadi by Ramires that earned the Chelsea midfielder a red card. His teammate Willian was also sent off during the game.

The Chelsea manager claimed that he had only gone onto the pitch to act as a peacemaker, but he was promptly sent to the stands by Foy.

Mourinho has been virulent in his criticism of Foy since the game, which was the first of two consecutive defeats that have jeopardised Chelsea's bid for the Premier League title.

Mourinho was also sent to the stands during a 4-1 win at home to Cardiff City last October, for which he was fined £8,000.

Chelsea are currently two points behind leaders Liverpool in the league table and on Tuesday secured a place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 2-0 win at home to Paris Saint-Germain.
