Mourinho aside, Portuguese federation sanctions Benfica and Porto staff after 2-2 Clássico | OneFootball

The Portuguese Football Federation's disciplinary board announced on Thursday further punishments arising from the 2-2 Clássico on Sunday 8 March, sanctioning staff from Benfica and Porto alongside José Mourinho and Lucho González.

Gonçalo Guimarães, Benfica's communications director, received a 23-day suspension and a 3,800-euro fine. The ruling said he sparked an altercation while people were trying to separate those involved, then pushed the match delegate with a hand on the shoulder and used an obscene insult.

Porto executive director Henrique Monteiro was banned for 15 days and fined about 1,910 euros for insulting language, telling the referee twice that the situation was a disgrace.

Mourinho's sanction relates to his dismissal in the same match, after an alleged kick of a ball towards the Porto bench following Leandro Barreiro's equaliser.

The first Porto staff member to approach the fourth official was Lucho González. He was also sent off and later exchanged heated words with the Benfica coach in the tunnel.
