José Mourinho has certainly earned a reputation for being the pantomime villain of football over the years.
But even by his own standards, his latest actions are pretty shocking as he got caught up in the centre of controversy during the U14 Rome derby.
The Portugese coach got a bit carried whilst in attendance and has left Lazio’s youth team unhappy with his behaviour.
Mourinho jeers Lazio U14 players
José Mourinho has been accused of jeering Lazio U14s and telling the Roma players to time waste, according to Il Messaggero.
Some first-team players were also involved, alongside their coach, as they waited around for training in Trigoria.
Roma led the match going into the final minutes only for that to be jeopardized by a late penalty for Lazio.
The ‘Special One’ was also constantly giving Roma players advice to throw themselves to the ground and feign injury to waste time.
The match ended 2-1 for Roma U14s and after, Mourinho invited them into the gym to take a picture and meet the first-team squad.
