Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho sarcastically described referee Mike Dean's performance as "unbelievable" and "fantastic" as his side lost 2-1 to Sunderland in an April 19 Premier League match, reported Xinhua.
His assistant Rui Faria was sent to the stands and later given a six-match stadium ban.
The FA Thursday found that Mourinho's comments did not question the officials' integrity but amounted to disrepute and improper conduct.
