The 10 Biggest Bans Handed To Football Managers In History<\/b><\/h2>\n

10. Jose Mourinho \u2013 Fenerbahce: Four matches<\/b><\/h3>\n

We begin our list with none other than The Special One himself, Jose Mourinho<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former Roma boss lives up to his namesake in at least one aspect, topping the list for most red cards received by a manager, with a total of nine.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of Mourinho\u2019s lengthiest bans came during his time at <\/span>Fenerbahce. The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) handed him a 4-match suspension and a fine of 1.6 million Turkish lira (\u00a334,000) in February 2025. This action came after Mourinho repeatedly criticised Turkish referees, both to the press and to their faces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mourinho suffered a similar four-match hiatus in 2023 for confronting referee Anthony Taylor following Roma\u2019s Europa League final loss to Seville.<\/span><\/p>\n
