Jose Mourinho has been blasted for “shameful” behaviour during his side’s Serie A win over basement side Salernitana on Sunday.
Salernitana director Walter Sabatini, previously employed by Roma, spoke to the media after the game to unleash a remarkable attack on the Portuguese. Sabatini’s sensational outburst about the coach included the words: “I apologise to Mourinho just for naming him, because I will never reach his level.”
Roma came from behind to win 2-1 at home against the side who prop up the standings in Serie A in an encounter which became surprisingly tetchy. Mourinho made an apology to Salernitana coach Davide Nicola after the match for his behaviour on the touchline – coming just days after the police were involved in a clash between staff members of Roma and Bodo/Glimt, as the Italian side lost 2-1 in Norway in the Europa Conference League.
