Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been fined \u00a38,000 and warned about his future conduct after being sent off in last month’s 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
He was dismissed after walking on to the pitch to speak to referee Chris Foy seconds after Ramires was red-carded.<\/p>\n
Mourinho is unhappy and frustrated by the fine, and is considering an appeal against the decision.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know why I was sent off,” he said after the match. “I asked, but the referee refused to speak to me.”
\nRamires was shown a straight red card for a two-footed tackle on Villa’s Karim El Ahmadi, an incident that sparked a touchline fracas.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese had denied an improper conduct charge when he appeared at a personal hearing on Wednesday.
\nHe is expected to wait for the written reasons behind the charge from the Football Association before lodging his appeal.<\/p>\n
Mourinho claimed he was trying to speak to Foy because Ramires was pushed by Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor, who had been substituted.
