He call himself the Special One, and Jose Mourinho really is one special man. At least when it comes to controversies. In the past, he has been labeled as "enemy of football" by the UEFA referee's chief, Volker Roth, fined £200.000 by FA for meeting with Ashley Cole and in breach of the Premier League rules. Even worse, when he was in Real Madrid, he was seen gouging the eye of then Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova and then calling him a penis on the following press conference.
This time the offence is lighter than earlier as he was ordered from the technical area by referee Anthony Taylor during Chelsea's match against Cardiff on Saturday. According to the Chelsea manager, Cardiff was time-wasting, and the manager protested several times. Finally, Anthony Taylor had enough and sent him up among the supporters on the stand. Of course, Mourinh0 did not understand the referee's decision:
"I don't know why the referee stopped me doing my work," he said after the match.
However, the FA understands the referees decision and have decided to charge Mourinho with improper conduct. The Portuguese has until 18.00 BST on 24 October to respond to the charge. He probably won't to avoid further penalties, but we all now that it burns inside him to say something. This is without a doubt, not the last controversy we have seen from the "Special One".
