Roma manager Jose Mourinho has aimed a dig at Tottenham and chairman Daniel Levy ahead of his Europa Conference League semi-final second leg with Leicester City this week. Mourinho was sacked by Spurs less than a week before a Carabao Cup final with Manchester City, a game they eventually lost.
Former midfielder Ryan Mason instead stepped into the dugout for the remainder of the season before Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte followed. Mourinho was appointed to takeover from Mauricio Pochettino after the Argentinian was controversially sacked in the 2019-20 campaign.
The Portuguese had an immediate impact at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but it eventually turned sour and amid the backdrop of the failed European Super League venture, he was sacked in April 2021 with the club in seventh having picked up two points in their last three games.
