Chelsea coach Marco Ianni charged and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho warned over touchline row

But Chelsea coach Marco Ianni has been charged following the game against Manchester United on Saturday.

In a statement, the FA said: "It is alleged that his behaviour in the 96th minute constituted improper conduct.

"He has until 6pm on Thursday 25 October 2018 to respond to the charge.

"In relation to this incident, Jose Mourinho has been formally reminded of his responsibilities whilst both clubs have received similar official reminders in terms of the behaviour expected of their staff and players at all times whilst in the technical area."

Ianni, who celebrated in front of Mourinho before being chased into the tunnel by the United boss, could face a fine or being given a suspension.


Mourinho, though, will be relieved that on this occasion, he is in the clear.

The sour scenes at Stamford Bridge occurred moments after Ross Barkley had netted a 96th-minute equaliser to steal a point.

Maurizio Sarri celebrated wildly but it was the actions of Ianni which incurred the wrath of Mourinho.

The former Napoli coach appeared to charge in front of the Man United bench pumping his fist – much to Mourinho's anger.
