Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is reportedly furious with the League Managers' Association over its lack of public support for him during his wrangling with the Football Association.
Over the course of a month, the Portuguese coach has been fined £90,000 and issued with stadium bans, one of which has been suspended, due to his critical comments of referees.
Mourinho was forced to miss Chelsea's 1-0 defeat to Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium last weekend as he served a ban for angrily confronting referee Jonathan Moss during his side's 2-1 loss to West Ham United.
According to The Mirror, Mourinho is ready to ease his backing for the LMA as he believes that the organisation should have publicly supported him over the stadium ban.
The 52-year-old also reportedly feels that the LMA does not speak out enough for managers and that he personally has not received much help this season.
At the end of the 2014-15 campaign, Mourinho was named the LMA's Manager of the Year.
