Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will face no further action on charges of using abusive language following their Premier League win over Newcastle United in October, the English Football Association (FA) said on Monday.
An independent regulatory commission cleared Mourinho of the charge on Oct. 31 and the FA, who appealed against that decision last month, confirmed on Monday it had been upheld and the matter was now closed.
"The FA welcomes the original decision of the appeal board to uphold its appeal against Mr Mourinho for using abusive, insulting and improper language after the Manchester United v Newcastle United match," the FA said in a statement.
