Jose Mourinho will miss the opening two matches of the Serie A season after Italy’s football federation handed the Roma coach a 10-day ban for calling a referee “the worst” he had ever seen.
In a statement, the FIGC’s disciplinary tribunal said that Mourinho would serve the ban “from the beginning of the next league season” which starts on the weekend of August 19-20.

Mourinho and Roma were both fined 50 000 euros ($54, 000) for his comments about Daniele Chiffi, which came after Roma’s 1-1 Italian league draw at Monza early last month.
