Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has been accused of making a homophobic slur prior to Tuesday's Champions League game away to CSKA Moscow.

Mourinho is alleged to have called match officials "faggots" prior to the 1-1 draw in Moscow.

The European Gay and Lesbian Sports Federation (EGLSF) has filed a complaint against the Special One, while co-president Louise Englefield has urged UEFA to take action against the former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss.

"Homophobia is unacceptable from anyone in football, much less from one of the game's most senior figures," Englefield was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying.

"We are deeply disappointed that Mr. Mourinho is casually using homophobic terms of abuse in his workplace.

"It is especially sad that these comments have been made during the International Football v Homophobia campaign week.

"As long-standing partners of the FARE network, we call on UEFA to take action and impose appropriate sanctions."

i definitely agree with this. mourinho isn't just some average guy who can throw these words around without being pulled up for it. he's representing RM. whether or not he's homophobic doesn't matter (and is irrelevant here), he shouldn't use words like these - if you wanna insult or piss off a referee, call them a "fucking asshole" instead, whatever. just don't resort to derogatory, homophobic terms.

Definitely. We don't know what his feelings are towards gay people, and that doesn't matter. He SAID something homophobic, and it's disappointing and insulting to witness, particularly when it's being tossed around in such a casual manner.
