AS Roma head coach Jose Mourinho says he may take legal action against the fourth official after being given his marching orders during Tuesday’s shock 2-1 loss to Cremonese.
Mourinho was sent to the stands early in the second half by referee Marco Piccinini after a touchline spat with fourth official Marco Serra.
But the Portuguese took exception with whatever Serra said to him on the sidelines, leading to his dismissal. Mourinho was still fuming after the game.
“I am emotional, but not crazy,” Mourinho told DAZN.
“In order to react the way I did, something had to happen first. I need to understand if I can take any legal action.
“Piccinini gave me a red card, because unfortunately the fourth official does not have the capacity to understand what he said to me.
“I want to find out if there is an audio recording. I don’t want to get into the fact that Serra is from Turin and on Sunday we are playing against Juventus.
“For the first time in my career, a fourth official spoke to me in the most incredible way. It was unjustifiable. At the end of the game, I went to speak to them.
“Piccinini, who was the fourth official in the last game when I was sent off, told me to apologise to Serra.
“I told Serra he should have the courage to explain what happened, but he had memory problems.”
Mourinho wouldn’t elaborate on the specifics of what Serra said to him.
