UEFA: Jose must learn from row

The head of UEFA, Lars Christer Olsson, said today he hoped Jose Mourinho had learned his lesson after the Chelsea manager was banned for two matches for criticising referee Anders Frisk.

Following yesterday's disciplinary hearing at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Mourinho was fined £9,000 after being found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute.

The club were fined £33,000 and assistant manager Steve Clarke and security officer Les Miles were also reprimanded for their part in the referee row.

The club were still waiting today to find out exactly what Chelsea and Mourinho had been found guilty of but they are confident they have been cleared of lying over claims Frisk met Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard at half-time during the Champions League clash.

But UEFA chief executive Christer Olsson said: "This sentence reflects our evaluation of how grave [the charge] is. The message out of this is that if you are a high-profile coach or player, you have to take your responsibility of being a role model for so many other people. I hope [Mourinho] has already learned some lessons."
