Mourinho's side began the season with a home draw against Salernitana, before losing to Hellas Verona and AC Milan. Mourinho's third season curse has sparked rumors that the slow start has sparked fears that the Mourinho curse might strike again. During his second stint as coach, the Portuguese coach was fired by Manchester United and Chelsea in his second spell.

Following his spat with Jose Mourinho in February, Serie A official Marco Serra has reportedly been fired ahead of the 2023/24 season. The Italian Referees Association has reached the decision in light of his participation in the Cremonese-Roma match on February 28th. Mourinho was sent to the stands after a tumultuous altercation with the fourth official involved in the match, with the Portuguese boss claiming that Serra had insulted him.

Following an altercation with Serra, Mourinho was sent to the stands by referee Marco Piccinini. This is the third time the Portuguese have been barred from his scientific field this season. Mourinho pleaded for an explanation regarding a foul on Marash Kumbulla that hadn't been given, according to Serra.

Following a 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad in their Europa League last-16 clash, Roma are in the driving seat. After tucking in a cross from Tammy Abraham, Stephan El Shaarawy scored the first goal. The Spanish would have been content with a 1-0 deficit, but Marash Kumbulla doubled the lead with just three minutes to go, giving the LaLiga side a big challenge in the second leg.

Despite being handed a red card during Roma's 2-1 loss to Cremonese on Tuesday night, Jose Mourinho will be in the dug-out for the Roma's crunch match against Juventus on Sunday. After clashing with fourth official Marco Serra in the first minutes of the second half before being dismissed by referee Marco Piccinini, the Portuguese boss was handed a two-match suspension and his third red card of the season. When he was issued his marching orders, his side was already 1-0 down, with the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager vying for the trophy, stating, "It's him, it's him." as he left the field.

After being sent off for the third time this season in Roma's humiliating 2-1 loss to Cremonese, Jose Mourinho has said he could pursue court help. Following a clash with the fourth official, Mourinho was dismissed in the first moments of the second half. Referee Marco Piccinini dismissed the Roma chief's displeasure, then went on to accuse the fourth official and insist that it is "it's him."

With a historic £815 million shopping spree, Premier League clubs made a joke of the fact that the January transfer window is a difficult one. England's top-flight flexed its financial muscles once more, owing to Chelsea's zealous investment, with the huge divide between it and the other top European leagues painfully apparent. Chelsea alone invested more than half of all clubs in Serie A, LaLiga, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga, as a whole, with even low-ranking Premier League clubs being able to lure top quality players from top European clubs. The problem has never been more acute in Spain and Italy, where a total of £50 million in Premier League outlay has barely made a dent. As the image of their competitors' brands fades, it's a situation that is fueling indignation and resentment in those countries.

Jose Mourinho (inset left) has fired a dig at Chelsea and owner Todd Boehly (inset right) for their continued spending, which was the day they signed Mykhailo Mudryk (pictured) for £88 million. Roma boss Mourinho, who had two spells in charge of the Blues, saw his team beat Fiorentina 2-0 on Sunday thanks to a Paulo Dybala double. However, the Portuguese boss sluggishly invested after the match, insisting that he'find a solution' with his current players rather than simply buy a new one. When asked about Marash Kumbulla as a back-up for Roger Ibanez, he said, 'We must grow the young players to grow.' We need a defender who can pass the ball better out of defense, and Kumbulla is obviously the one who does it best, but we do need Ibanez because of his pace and determination. We need to find a solution, we can't just buy Mudryk for £90m!'
