Manager Jose Mourinho is among three Chelsea staff charged by the FA in the aftermath of the club’s Premier League loss to Sunderland.<\/p>\n
Assistant manager Rui Faria and midfielder Ramires have also been charged following the 2-1 defeat .<\/p>\n
Mourinho has been charged with misconduct in respect of the comments he made post-match.<\/p>\n
Ramires has been charged with violent conduct, while Faria has been charged with two counts of misconduct.<\/p>\n
Mourinho refused to take questions after the game against bottom club Sunderland, in which his unbeaten Premier League home record as Chelsea managed ended.<\/p>\n
However, he ‘congratulated’ both referee Mike Dean for his performance – which he described as “unbelievable” – and Mike Riley, head of refereeing body Professional Game Match Officials Limited, in a television interview.<\/p>\n
After considering the remarks, the FA alleges that his comments call into question the integrity of Dean and\/or Riley and\/or bring the game into disrepute.<\/p>\n
Mourinho has until 18:00 BST on Monday, 28 April to respond to the charge.<\/p>\n
Brazilian midfielder Ramires, 27, has been charged following an off-the-ball incident with Sunderland’s Sebastian Larsson, which was not seen by the match officials at the time but which was reviewed by a panel of former referees.<\/p>\n
He has until 18:00 on Thursday, 24 April to respond to the charge.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Faria’s two charges follow an allegation that he used abusive and\/or insulting words towards the fourth official and that his behaviour after being ordered to leave the technical area amounted to improper conduct.<\/p>\n
The FA designated this as a non-standard case due to the aggressive and\/or threatening and\/or serious nature of the reported behaviour.<\/p>\n
Faria, who had to be restrained from confronting Dean after Sunderland had been awarded what turned out to the match-winning penalty, has until 18:00 on Monday, 28 April to respond to the charge.<\/p>\n
