The FIGC Prosecutor’s Office has officially opened an investigation into the clash between Roma coach Jose Mourinho and fourth official Marco Serra in Cremonese’s 2-1 win yesterday.
After a brief confrontation on the touchline, which saw the Portuguese coach react furiously to a comment made by the fourth official, Mourinho was shown a red card. He later complained to the media about the incident, alluding to the fact that Serra is from Turin and Roma’s next game is against Juventus.
La Gazzetta dello Sport details how the FIGC Prosecutor’s Office wants to fully understand the incident and will soon speak to both Mourinho and Serra in order to see the full scope of the clash.
After an on-pitch clash between Marash Kumbulla and Frank Tsadjout, Mourinho asked Serra for an explanation, and was reportedly told to “mind your own f**king business.” Predictably, the Roma coach and his staff were furious with this response.
Following the red card, Serra then allegedly said to the Portuguese coach that “they all take the p*ss out of you, go home.”
Mourinho confirmed to the media after the defeat that he was considering legal action against the fourth official.
