The Portuguese mentor has managed to attract controversy yet again as he has been accused by the EGLSF for the alleged usage of homophobic slur.
The EGLSF (European g*y and L*****n Sports Federation) have blamed the Real Madrid head coach for usage of offensive homophobic smear during Madrid’s visit to the Luzhniki Stadium.
The nine-time European Champions paid a visit to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 to face CSKA Moscow in their UEFA Champions League round of 16 clash last Tuesday. To the frustration of the Spanish Giants, they were held to a 1-1 draw in the match.
Although Los Blancos scored the first goal of the match through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, they failed to maintain the lead as the hosts equalized with the help of Pontus Wernbloom, in the dying moments of the game.
Although a stalemate was not the preferable conclusion for the Santiago Bernabeu outfit, Jose Mourinho appeared rather satisfied from the result.
However, it is Mourinho’s actions off the pitch which have come under particular attention – though, not for the first time!
The Real Madrid head coach has been charged by the EGLSF for calling the match officials ‘faggots’ prior to the start of the match.
According to reports EGLSF have called up UEFA to take strict action against the 49-year-old and have filed a complaint against him.
EGLSF vice-president, Louise Englefield has strongly condemned Mourinho’s comments about the match officials.
Englefield spoke to the Daily Mail and said:
"Homophobia is unacceptable from anyone in football, much less from one of the game's most senior figures. We are deeply disappointed that Mr. Mourinho is casually using homophobic terms of abuse in his workplace.”
"It is especially sad that these comments have been made during the International Football v Homophobia campaign week. As long-standing partners of the FARE network, we call on UEFA to take action and impose appropriate sanctions."
Interestingly, this will not be the first time that the Portuguese tactician has come under the spotlight in wake of his controversial remarks. In fact, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager has made quite a reputation for being outspoken in his remarks.
Despite accusations by EGLSF, UEFA is yet to take action against the Blancos head coach.
