According to ESPN, Jose Mourinho, the manager of Roma, has resigned from his position on the UEFA football board.
His decision came less than two days after the European Football Federation handed Mourinho a four-match ban for verbally insulting referee Anthony Taylor following last month’s Europa League final.
Sevilla defeated Roma in a penalty shootout after the game ended 1-1 after 120 minutes.
Following the game, video emerged showing Mourinho approaching Taylor and hurling expletives at him outside the stadium.

Mourinho has decided to leave his position at UEFA.
His letter read: “In thanking you for the invitation you extended to me to be a member of the UEFA football board, I regret to inform you that, effective immediately, I will be renouncing my participation in this group.
“The conditions which I so strongly believed in when I joined are no longer standing and I felt the obligation to take this decision.
“I kindly ask that you also communicate my decision to the President, Mr. Aleksander Ceferin.”
