In the match of round 19 of Serie A that took place last night, AS Roma drew 1-1 with Atalanta. That was an acceptable result for the "Wolves". However, they had to pay a very high price after this match when coach Mourinho was dismissed.

In the match against Atalanta, the Portuguese coach received two yellow cards for his reaction to the referee. The first incident occurred in the 6th minute of injury time in the first half, when coach Mourinho received a yellow card for reacting violently when the referee ignored the situation where Paulo Dybala was pushed to the ground.
In the 90+3 minute, he received a similar penalty for protesting the referee's decision after Lukaku collided with his opponent.
Things did not stop there, after the match, the "Special One" stormed out of the press conference and immediately left the Olimpico stadium. The only statement made by the AS Roma coach was that he "did not want to comment" on the match.
With this red card, Coach Mourinho will be banned from coaching in the important match against AC Milan in Serie A on January 14. However, he will still be able to work in the match against Lazio in the Italian national cup in the middle of this week.

This is the second time the "Special One" has received a red card this season. Previously, he received a similar penalty in the match against Monza in round 9 of Serie A for mocking the referee.
After the draw with Atalanta, AS Roma fell to 8th place in the Serie A standings with 29 points, 4 points behind 4th place Fiorentina. On the other hand, Atalanta ranked 6th with 30 points.
