The Portuguese specialist has once again proven his uniqueness in the modern world of football.
José Mourinho has scored another victory in modern football. “Special” got disqualified from two prestigious tournaments at once. And in both cases for insulting the referee.
We remind you, UEFA previously removed the Portuguese specialist because of the statements addressed to the referee of the Europa League final.
And now it turns out they did the same in Serie A. Roma’s head coach has been suspended for 10 days of next season for his comments about referee Daniele Chiffi.
The incident occurred after the match with Monza (1:1), which took place on May 3. The referee then showed Giallorossi defender Zeki Celik a red card in stoppage time. Note that Chiffi previously removed Mourinho himself in the match against Atalanta (0:1) in September.
After the Monza match, the Portuguese, without mincing words, called Chiffi the “worst referee” he had ever seen.
“He (Chiffy) is the worst. Technically he’s terrible. Zero empathy. Zero communication. Zero awareness. Second yellow card to the guy who slipped in the 96th minute… I stopped doing something 20-30 minutes before the end of the match. because he knows he will fire me for anything.
I didn’t give him a chance to do it, I decided no, that was enough. Trust me, I have faced many bad judges. Usually, when I talk about referees, it’s because they have a direct impact on the game,” Mourinho said at the time.
Thus, the specialist will not miss the first two games of Roma in the 2023/24 season. He was also fined 50,000 euros.
