Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho faces more punishment from the FA for his behaviour during his side's 2-1 defeat at West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday.

The FA released a statement which confirmed Mourinho, his assistant coach Silvino Louro and West Ham would all face charges for their part in the ill-disciplined match at the Boleyn Ground.


Mourinho is already appealing a £50,000 fine and suspended one-match stadium ban for comments made about match officials following the 3-1 defeat to Southampton earlier this month.


He faces fresh charges after being sent to the stands by referee Jonathan Moss at half-time of the match against West Ham.


"Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct in relation to his language and/or behaviour towards the match officials in or around the dressing room area at half-time," said the FA.


"Chelsea coach Silvino Louro has also been charged with misconduct in relation to his behaviour which led to his 45th minute dismissal from the technical area.






"West Ham have been charged for failing to control their players in the 44th minute of the game and Chelsea have also been charged with the same offence for an alleged breach in the 45th minute of the game.


"All parties have until 6pm on Thursday (29 October 2015) to reply."


An FA spokesman said on Monday that an automatic fine of £25,0000 would be implemented against Chelsea because six players received a yellow card in the Premier League game. One of them, Nemanja Matic, was sent off, to take the crime count to seven.

That incident aggravated coach Louro and manager Mourinho, who were then both sent to the stands by Moss presumably for berating the match official's decision.
