Shortly before the end of the game on February 19 at home against Hellas Verona (2: 2), the Portuguese “serious innuendos” voiced in the direction of the referee, the judges ruled on Tuesday. Mourinho also entered the field threateningly. As a result, the referee showed him the red card.
The trouble was probably due to the four minutes of overtime. For Mourinho – the “Special One” – that was probably not enough after his team had previously caught up from a 0:2 deficit. Roma goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos also suspended the court for two games for insulting the referee towards the end of the game.
Club manager Tiago Pinto has been suspended until March 8 for tackling the referee in the players’ tunnel after the final whistle. He later apologized for it.
