Years passed and football developed, but controversy and Mourinho continued to go hand in hand. In Roma’s draw with Atalanta (1-1) the Portuguese coach was sent off in injury time. A red that came at the end of it all, but that settled in 90 minutes. In the first half he already saw yellow, but it was in the final minutes when he received the sending off that prevented him from being on the bench against Milan.
The surprising reaction of the people
Mourinho, whose contract expires in June and has yet to reach an agreement for his renewal, although he has said he wants to continue at Roma, has fans on board. After his dismissal, the tifosi, far from being angry with him or having a negative reaction, started chanting ”JOSE MOURINHO LALALA”.
The Portuguese coach has shown his disagreement with the referee’s decisions several times, but it was an action by Lukaku that angered him the most and he angrily protested the failure to signal a clear foul. His anger continued after the game, as he decided not to attend the press and went straight home.
Yes, he will be on the bench for Wednesday’s match against Lazio in the Cup (6pm). A match where the winner gets a ticket to the semi-finals.
