JOSE FACES A NEW RAP

FROM BACK PAGE means it is likely an improper conduct charge will follow from the FA, depending on how seriously the incident is viewed by Dean and his fellow officials.

It could lead to both Mourinho and Ianni being charged.

Mourinho had to be pulled away from Ianni by stewards and officials after the Chelsea coach taunted him after a lastgasp equaliser.

It is also understood Mourinho carried on his rant down the tunnel, waited near the Chelsea dressing room and still furiously tried to confront Ianni after the game. The situation was only resolved when Chelsea made Ianni apologise to him.

However, Mourinho could still get off the hook if Dean’s report considers that the incident was dealt with sufficiently at the time.

Mourinho is already facing a potential touchline ban and fine after being charged by the FA for allegedly using “abusive, insulting or improper language” after United’s win over Newcastle.

He has been given an extension until Wednesday to respond.

But Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri said: “I’ve brought the member of staff to Jose to say sorry. We were wrong.”
