A Europa League Conference clash with Bodo/Glimt did little to improve his mood, with the Roma boss expressing his anger during an exchange with TV reporter, and former Premier League striker, Jan Age Fjortoft after the final whistle in a 2-2 draw.
Mourinho was interviewed by Fjortoft for Viaplay after his team were held to a draw by a Norwegian outfit that stunned Roma 6-1 a couple of weeks earlier.
The Roma coach was of the opinion that the match referee did his team few favours at Stadio Olimpico, with more penalty appeals being waved away, and struggled to understand why the man putting questions to him could not share the same opinion, stating at one stage: “Did you watch the game?”
🗣😡Mourinho: – The referee has to explain. But they don’t speak.

Mourinho also entered into a post-match debate with Sky Sport Italia, with the Portuguese questioning the quality of Europa Conference League officials.
He shared his sentiments about his team being denied far too many spot kicks, with a recent dip in results for Roma owing plenty to some questionable calls.
According to Mourinho: “The reality of the game is 2-2, but the two penalties were clear as day. Clear as day.
“You can talk about whatever you want, but the reality is 2-2, they had two shots on target and two goals. We scored two goals and had two clear penalties denied.
“I don’t know if they get referees who are poor and starting their careers for the Conference League. I didn’t say anything about the referee in Norway, because we lost 6-1, but here the two penalties were clear.”
