TAD overturns Mourinho ban over war of words with Lucho | OneFootball

José Mourinho has seen the Court of Arbitration for Sport uphold the appeal lodged following his sending-off in the derby between Benfica and FC Porto, played in March and ending in a 2-2 draw. The coach, now at Real Madrid, was sent off after an exchange of words with Lucho González, a member of Porto’s coaching staff. The Disciplinary Board had handed him an 11-day suspension and a fine of 3,825 euros.

During the incident, Mourinho called the former Argentine midfielder “little one”, to which he replied by accusing the coach of being a “traitor”.

“In this case, it appears to us that the response given by the Claimant [José Mourinho] to the judgment that was provocatively directed at him by the aforementioned Luiz Oscar Gonzalez was appropriate and proportionate, and therefore lawful,” the CAS ruling states, ordering the punishment to be annulled.
