Jose Mourinho has been handed a suspended one-match European competition ban, UEFA has announced.

The Tottenham head coach was deemed to be responsible for the late kick-off of their Europa League match against Royal Antwerp on October 29.

Spurs were fined 25,000 euros (£23,000) for the late kick-off by UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary body (CEDB), as well as a further 3,000 euros for a breach of UEFA's equipment regulations.

The CEDB said the ban was "deferred for a probationary period of one year, starting from the date of the present decision".

Another condition was Tottenham should "ensure their head coach is personally informed of this decision".

Mourinho made nine changes for the 1-0 defeat in Belgium, after which the Spurs boss criticised his players and said he faced "easy choices" over future team selections.


    Scottish champions Celtic have also been fined 7,000 euros for improper conduct related to their Europa League game against Lille on the same night.

      Everton end Chelsea's long unbeaten run Chelsea spurned the chance to go top of the Premier League as Gylfi Sigurdsson's penalty earned Everton a vital 1-0 win in front of 2,000 fans at Goodison Park. A first defeat in 18 games, excluding penalty shootouts, leaves Frank Lampard's men still two points adrift of Tottenham and Liverpool at the top of the table. They can extend that advantage to five points when they are in action on Sunday. Victory lifts Everton up to seventh and within just one point of the top four. Reece James and Mason Mount hit the post for the visitors, but they were made to pay for one rash moment from goalkeeper Edouard Mendy as he bundled over Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Sigurdsson coolly slotted home the resultant spot-kick. A £220 million ($291 million) spending spree had seemingly transformed Chelsea into title contenders, but the Blues badly missed the creativity of the injured Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic to break Everton down once the Toff

      Hundreds block streets in Armenia after PM ignores deadline to step down demonstrators blocked streets in Armenia's capital on Tuesday to mark the start of a protest campaign after Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan ignored their call to step down over a ceasefire deal struck with Azerbaijan. Hundreds chanted "Nikol, traitor" and "Armenia without Nikol" in the streets of Yerevan, answering an opposition call to protest after a deadline of midday Tuesday set by the opposition for Pashinyan to quit passed with him still in power. Pashinyan, who swept to power in a peaceful revolution in May 2018, accepted a Russian-brokered ceasefire deal last month to end a bloody conflict between Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenian forces over the Nagorno-Karabkh enclave and surrounding areas. Pashinyan's opponents want him out over what they say was his disastrous handling of the six-week conflict that handed Azerbaijan territorial gains. Pashinyan has accepted responsibility for
