Mourinho lose ban appeal, misses Lazio derby

Roma head coach Jose Mourinho has lost his appeal against his two-match Serie A ban for his reactions when he was sent off in the 2-1 loss at Cremonese in late February.

Mourinho, who was sent off by referee Marco Piccinini early in the second half, was also fined €10,000 and will miss Roma’s games against Sassuolo on Sunday and the Lazio derby on March 19.
