WATCH: Jose Mourinho Shown Third Red Card Of Season During Roma's Shock Defeat vs Cremonese
After the match, Jose Mourinho has threatened to take legal action against the fourth official.
Jose Mourinho might be known for leading football teams to glory but he is also known for his on and off the field antics which keeps him in the news. He is known to speak his mind and has crossed the line in the past. For the third time in the ongoing season, the Portuguese was sent off with the Roma manager being given a red card after he allegedly abused the referee.
The incident happened during Roma's Serie A face off against Cremonese. Mourinho's team was 0-1 down in the dying minutes of the first half when he lost his cool and allegedly abused the referee. He had already been sent off twice in this season before the match on Tuesday. Even the assistant coach of Giallorossi has already served a month-long back after he got into a bit of an argument with officials following the side's Coppa Italia defeat.
