Jose Mourinho was sent off in the second half of Roma’s defeat against Atalanta on Sunday after storming onto the pitch to protest.
Mourinho was absolutely furious after the referee in the Serie A clash decided not to award Roma a penalty in the 55th minute. The Roma boss thought Nicolo Zaniolo was fouled by Atalanta defender Caleb Okoli inside the box, but the decision went the opposite way – much to the annoyance of the Roma players and manager.
After the home players had surrounded the referee, Mourinho was seen running onto the pitch waving his arms around in anger. As the referee ran over with the red card ready, he retreated slightly but had to be restrained by a member of Roma staff as he went red in the face.
