Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct for
comments made about match officials after last month's draw at
Southampton, the Football Association has announced.
Mourinho claimed there is a "clear campaign" by "people, pundits,
commentators and coaches from other teams" against Chelsea and labelled
the booking of Cesc Fabregas for diving at St Mary's on Dec. 28 a
"scandal."
"It is alleged his remarks constitute improper conduct in that they
allege and/or imply bias on the part of a referee or referees and/or
bring the game into disrepute," a statement issued by the FA read.
Mourinho has until Tuesday to respond to the charge.
Separately, Mourinnho been issued with a formal warning for saying
last month's match at Stoke required a ``good referee'' to spot
aggressiveness from the opponent. The FA bans managers from making
comments about referees ahead of a match.
