Furious after the defeat of AS Roma in the final of the Europa League, José Mourinho attacked the referee of the match. The sanction against the Special One has fallen and it is heavy.
We do not know if this weighed in the choice of PSG not to recruit him, but with hindsight it did not plead in his favor. On May 31, after Roma’s defeat against Sevilla in the Europa League final, José Mourinho had unpinned, even going so far as to inveigh against Anthony Taylor, referee of the final, in the stadium car park. The number of the Portuguese coach in Rome had annoyed everyone, Mourinho showing there a detestable facet of his character. The English referee having made a report, UEFA could not turn a blind eye to the attitude of the Special One. This Wednesday, the disciplinary committee of the European football body imposed a four-game suspension on the Roman technician for his behavior. Enough to teach José Mourinho a good lesson, even if AS Roma can appeal this sanction.
