The Football Association has published referee Jon Moss’ report, which revealed Jose Mourinho’s foul-mouthed rant at him and his assistants.
Mourinho was sent to the stands after the first half, during Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat at Upton Park, with his conduct earning him a one-match stadium ban and a £40,000 fine.
The Blues boss branded Moss as “f****** weak” and added that Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, was right to call referees naive and weak.
“When myself and my colleagues left the field of play at half time, as we entered the tunnel area to get to our dressing room, Mr Mourinho the Chelsea manager was waiting for us clearly agitated and began aggressively asking about first-half decisions,” Moss wrote.
“Rather than publically speak to him I asked him to step into the entrance of my dressing room escorted by Simon Sutton, the West Ham United Security Manager. Mr Mourinho asked me about a tackle, an offside and a goalline clearance.
“I gave him brief answers to his questions. After this I asked him to leave the dressing room area. He refused. I asked him again. After he refused again I asked Mr Sutton to escort him from the room.
“At this point Mr Mourinho became very aggressive and animated. He shouted that you f****** referees are weak… Wenger is right about you…you are f****** weak.
“I advised Mr Mourinho not to take his position in the technical area for the second half due to his actions.”
