Untenable since his arrival on the bench of AS Roma – or rather since his beginnings as coach – José Mourinho has surely exceeded the limits in recent weeks. As demonstrated by his lunar remarks against referee Marcenaro, just before the match against Sassuolo this Sunday won by the Giallorossi in Serie A: “I’m worried about the referee, we’ve had him as fourth official three times and I don’t think he has the emotional stability for matches at this level. Not even the profile of those who are at this level. (…) We have often had bad luck with him… You will see that tomorrow with Marcenaro, Mancini will have a yellow card after 10 minutes and will miss Fiorentina.
Words as hilarious as they are dangerous for The Special One, who should be in trouble. La Gazzetta explains that the prosecutor of the FIGC (Italian Football Federation) opened a file on José Mourinho after his shocking statements. The latter would have violated articles 4 and 23 of the Code of Sports Justice, which concern the “principles of loyalty, accuracy and probity” of members and “prejudicial statements”. The Italian tactician risks a heavy fine, as well as a suspension. This time, he could well be in “big trouble”…
