It has been confirmed by Serie A that the Portuguese tactician will have to serve a two-match suspension after receiving a red card in Roma's 2-1 defeat to Cremonese.
Mourinho was dismissed following an aggressive altercation with the fourth official, and decided to continue his actions in the referee's dressing room after the game.
Speaking in a post-match press conference, the ex-Manchester United boss said he was considering legal action after what was said to him, although he did not reveal publicly what was uttered.
According to Football Italia, the statement from the Serie A said: "For having contested a refereeing decision in a forceful and provocative manner in the second minute of the second half and repeating this behaviour at the time of sending-off.
"Furthermore, for entering the referees' dressing room and addressing the fourth official with offensive expressions and inferences at the end of the match."
Mourinho will thus be absent for his side's upcoming league encounter against Juventus, while he will also miss Roma's match against Sassuolo.
