"The two-match ban handed to Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho for poking Barcelona's Tito Vilanova in the eye has been lifted. Mourinho was caught on camera poking the eye of Vilanova, Barcelona's assistant coach at the time, after the final whistle in Barca's 5-4 aggregate win over Real in the Spanish Super Cup last August. The Portuguese was ultimately handed a two-match suspension while Vilanova, now the Barca manager, was given a one-match ban for his part in the fracas...However, as part of an amnesty by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), the bans have been overturned - meaning the two coaches will be on the touchline when Madrid meet Barcelona in the two-legged Spanish Super Cup next month."
