José Mourinho criticizes Roma owner after ‘unfair’ dismissal: “You understand little…”
After being sent away from the Italian club in January, Portuguese coach José Mourinho criticizes Dan Franklin, owner of Roma
Portuguese coach José Mourinho spared no criticism of Roma owner Dan Franklin , almost two months after his dismissal from command of the Italian club . During an interview with “Football.com”, the platform for which he is an ambassador, ‘The Special One’ stated that his departure from the team was “unfair” and highlighted that the team owner “understands little about football”.
“I won’t be in the final stages, not because I was eliminated before, but because I was ‘eliminated’ by someone who understands little about football. It’s life, full of ups and downs, and I’m at the ‘highs’, despite the dismissal that was as unexpected as it was unfair. But I will return, with more desire and confidence, to these UEFA matches” , said the coach.
Mourinho’s career at Roma ended after two and a half seasons, marked by many ups and downs. The Portuguese left command of the Italians due to negative results in the current season, saying goodbye to the team in 9th place in Serie A , very far from a place in Europe ‘s main competitions . Furthermore, the Romans finished second in Group G of the Europa League and face Dutch side Feyenoord in the round of 16. The first game ended 1-1 in Rotterdam .
