Jose Mourinho was sent off for dissent yet again in tonight’s match with Cremonese and took a very old-fashioned method of communicating with his Roma staff.

The Special One has never had a great rapport with referees and fourth officials, and it was his conversation with the latter that cost him a red card this time at the Stadio Zini.

He was even more furious following the dismissal and protested loudly with referee Piccinini, pointing to fourth official Serra and insisting “it’s him, it’s him!”

Once he had left the touchline, Mourinho took some old-fashioned methods of communicating with his staff on the bench.

Rather than get the phone out, he scribbled some notes and got his assistant Salvatore Foti to deliver it to their colleagues.

As luck would have it, Foti was already in the stands sitting out a one-month touchline ban for insulting referee Michael Fabbri and threatening a Cremonese director when these sides met in the Coppa Italia.
