Roma coach Jose Mourinho was fuming at half-time during the 6-1 defeat to Bodo/Glimt in the Conference League and reportedly told his players that ‘some of you wouldn’t even play in Norway’.
Il Corriere dello Sport reports the words from the coach at half-time was absorbed without a word, as the Portuguese tactician was fuming after a poor first half against the Norwegian side.
Conference League | Bodo/Glimt 6-1 Roma: Mourinho humiliated
It ended in an embarrassing 6-1 defeat on Thursday and Mourinho told Viasat reporter Jan Aage Fjortoft that Bodo/Glimt didn’t ‘impress him’, as their first team was ‘better’ than his second team.
Mourinho stressed Roma have a good team, but not a good squad and the newspaper reveals his hard words to the players in the dressing room at half-time.
“There are people among you who wouldn’t even play here in Norway, or even in Serie B,” an angry Mourinho said in the dressing room, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.
Roma are back in action against league leaders Napoli on Sunday, and Mourinho expects a reaction from his men.
The Giallorossi are fourth in Serie A after eight games and now sit second behind Glimt in Group C of the Europa Conference League.

Such a toxic person, he and Guardiola are the two WORST examples of managers…
He has a point. If the team are playing awful you let them know.
@Pinturicchio…
1. A tixic person or honest? I will say, I’d much rather have a coach and mentor like him because he will instruct and explain what he ACTUALLY observes.
2. Political correctness dies nothing more than to pacify and obscure meaning and intention.
3. We are becoming a civilization without clarity and traditional values. He represents what is needed to win.
I ain’t got no political issues with Mourinho, God bless do what you wish but your time is in Norway I think , if you let in 6 (that he never did in his coaching career) should be a wake up call..init?
They were 2-1 down at ht and after this horrible talk concede 4 more. very good coaching
@footballfan, I tought the same.
Yeah, it’s true. But that’s not he way to say it. If someone is not good enough, improve him but don’t humiliate him. Everyone could win with Messi and Ronaldo, but to biuld team from zero – that’s what makes you a coach.
And also… Alberto De Rossi won the U19 Cup with the same boys (Calafiori, Tripi, Bove, Zalewski, Darboe) who can’t play according to Mou… just saying.
Well said @footballfan
most of their player capable of playing in serie A, thats just excuse
Bodo vs Roma reminds 🤔 me of Golaith vs David
