Death, taxes, Mourinho getting sent off
Jose Mourinho was sent off once again during Roma’s 2-2 draw with Hellas Verona on Saturday night.
Roma fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at the Stadio Olimpico as youngsters Cristian Volpato and Edoardo Bove getting on the scoresheet to share the spoils.
But the Giallorossi’s comeback was marred by their manager’s antics as Mourinho once again ended a game banished to the stands.
The former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager was left angered by the away side’s time-wasting tactics, leading to the 59-year-old receiving his marching orders.

This isn’t the first time Mourinho has been sent off, with the Portuguese international receiving a number of dismissals throughout the season, as well as making headlines for the wrong reasons.
Earlier this week, he and Roma became part of an investigation after it emerged that the club had appointed ex-referee Gianpaolo Calvarese as an external consultant to help Calvarese to deal with officiating and VAR protocol in the league.
The experienced manager hasn’t also been afraid to call out his own players since returning to Italy at the start of the season whilst he held showdown talks with the club’s owners after Roma made their worst start to a league campaign for 43 years.
Their draw on Saturday night leaves the Giallorossi seventh in the league and a point behind their closest rivals, Lazio.
