Jose Mourinho's Abusive Language FA Charge Dismissed Following Appeal

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will not face sanction for a charge made by the Football Association of using "abusive, insulting and improper language" after the organisation's appeal was dismissed by the Independent Regulatory Commission.

Per Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News, Mourinho allegedly said "F--k off, sons of b-----s" in Portuguese in front of a camera on the pitch following United's 3-2 win at home to Newcastle United in October.

Mourinho successfully appealed a consequent charge of using abusive language, prompting the FA to appeal the decision to clear him, which was made by an independent body.
