Roma coach Jose Mourinho has received a two-match ban for insulting the referee with a reference to Calciopoli, while director Tiago Pinto is suspended until March 8 and other members of staff were also sanctioned.
The incidents occurred during and after the 2-2 draw with Hellas Verona at the Stadio Olimpico, which saw coach Mourinho sent off from the touchline.
He was seen miming a telephone to referee Luca Pairetto, who is the son of a former referee Pierluigi Pairetto who was involved in the 2006 Calciopoli investigation.
Pairetto was found to have had frequent telephone contact with then-Juventus director Luciano Moggi, but insisted he had communicated with directors from various other clubs too.
The telephone gesture was therefore seen as a direct reference to the Calciopoli scandal, but the Disciplinary Commission report notes that Mourinho also approached the referee after the final whistle in the tunnel to ‘continue these grave insinuations while trying to hold back his director of sport.’
Mourinho was also fined €20,000 and Tiago Pinto banned until March 8, while Mou’s assistant manager Luis Da Costa Nuno Santos was given a two-match touchline suspension.
Fitness coach Stefano Rapetti was suspended for one match and given a €5,000 fine for insulting members of the Verona bench, including ‘a blasphemous phrase.’

Mourinho is now a 419 coach, he signed and caused a lot of trouble, when the team is tired of that they send him out, and cash him his balance, in my language a sentence say,when a dog is powerless he bite no more but hits like a goat. hahahaha
