Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho launched a scathing attack on the Football Association after he was fined and given a one-match suspended stadium ban, claiming he was just happy he wasn't forced to wear "an electronic tag".

Mourinho was fined 50,000 pounds ($77,000) on Wednesday after accepting a misconduct charge from the English FA for comments he made about the officials in the wake of a 3-1 loss to Southampton in the Premier League on Oct 3.

The 52-year-old was unhappy that referee Robert Madley had refused to award Chelsea a penalty for Southampton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg's challenge on Radamel Falcao.
