Roma manager Jose Mourinho has been given a four-match suspension by UEFA for his behaviour at last month's Europa League final.

The Portuguese faced widespread criticism after he directed abuse at English referee Anthony Taylor following his side's defeat to Sevilla.

UEFA also announced West Ham fans would be banned for their next away game in European competition, with a further match suspended for two years.

That related to Hammers fans throwing missiles onto the pitch during their Europa Conference League final tie against Fiorentina in Prague earlier this month.

The Italian club's defender Cristiano Biraghi suffered a cut to the head from an object thrown from the crowd.
