Jose Mourinho's in trouble again! Roma boss facing ban for controversial comments about Serie A referee

The veteran manager's comments about Marcenaro ahead of Roma's clash against Sassuolo last weekend have landed him in trouble as he is set to be handed a suspension. In a thrilling encounter, the Giallorossi came back from behind to win 2-1 courtesy of goals from Paulo Dybala and Rasmus Kristensen.

WHAT HAPPENED?

At the pre-match press conference, the Roma boss said: "To be honest, I will say that I am worried about the referee. We had this official three times and I don’t think he has the emotional stability to work at this level."

WHAT JOSE MOURINHO SAID

The Italian FA (FIGC) initiated an investigation on the Portuguese manager earlier this week and he had to appear before them on Friday evening. According to <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Roma/09-12-2023/roma-mourinho-va-in-procura-ipotesi-patteggiamento-con-dieci-giorni-di-stop.shtml" target="_blank">La Gazzetta dello Sport</a>, the FIGC recorded the 60-year-old's statements regarding his comments at the meeting that lasted for almost 90 minutes.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

La Gazzetta further reports that the former Chelsea manager could negotiate a plea if a suspension is handed to him as he fully cooperated with the FIGC. Even if a ban comes his way it is unlikely to be more than 10 days, which means he will miss just one Serie A game.Roma will be next seen in action in the Serie A against Fiorentina on Sunday.
