Case Serra, the judges on Mourinho: “Conduct to be stigmatized”

The reasons for the confirmation of the two-match disqualification of José Mourinho for the Serra case decided by the Federal Court of Appeal, which rejected the Roma appeal, have been published. The reason? There is no “certain evidence to overturn the decision of the first instance judge”.

Thus, for the judges, “there can in no way be doubted that the attitude of the coach of the Capitoline team, as far as this Court is concerned, should be stigmatized, not only with reference to what happened on the pitch, but also and above all with regard to their behavior at the end of the match, a full forty-five minutes after the expulsion, arguments which leave no margin even for reducing the sanction imposed, given, also, the recurrence of the complainant”.
