Mourinho's assistant, Silvino Louro, was also
charged by the FA after being dismissed during
the match at West Ham in relation to his
behaviour in the technical area.
In a statement, the FA withdrew an improper
conduct charge against Louro but reminded him
of his responsibilities.

FA, the Portuguese has been criticised for his
treatment of former Chelsea doctor Eva
Carneiro.
Carneiro was dropped from first-team duties
after Mourinho said she was "naive" for
treating Eden Hazard during the opening-day
draw at home to Swansea.
She has since left Chelsea and Mourinho is the
subject of individual legal action from
Carneiro, who is also suing the Stamford
Bridge club for constructive dismissal.
On the pitch, his side are 15th in the Premier
League having lost six times in 11 games in
defence of their Premier League crown.
The latest defeat was a 3-1 home loss to
Liverpool that left the Blues 14 points behind
leaders Manchester City.
Chelsea's all-time top scorer Frank Lampard,
who played under Mourinho, said the club
should be looking for stability.
Speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football,
he said: "That's the intriguing thing at the
moment to see if they stick with him.
"He is a world-class manager. I think they
should stick with him but results need to
change now."
