Chelsea coach charged over Mourinho melee

LONDON - Chelsea assistant coach Marco Ianni has been charged with improper conduct over his touchline flare-up with Jose Mourinho that also prompted the Football Association to remind the Manchester United manager of his responsibilities.

Tensions escalated in front of the Stamford Bridge tunnel after Ross Barkley's stoppage-time equalizer saw Chelsea secure a 2-2 draw on Saturday.

Former Chelsea manager Mourinho was angered by the way Ianni, an assistant to current Blues boss Maurizio Sarri, celebrated in front of the United bench.
