Mourinho puzzled by red card for crying gesture

Jose Mourinho has said he doesn’t understand why he was sent off for making a crying gesture towards the end of Roma’s 1-0 victory against Monza on Sunday.

A 90th-minute goal from Stephan El Shaarawy secured the win for Roma against Monza who were down to 10 men following Danilo D’Ambrosio‘s first-half sending off.

Mourinho was also shown a red card in stoppage-time after he appeared to make a gesture towards the Monza coaching staff.

“I don’t know why I got the red card, I only made a gesture to the bench, not a single word,” Mourinho said.

“The Monza bench put a lot of pressure on the referee, they shouldn’t have behaved like that.”
