• It was a frustrating evening for Mourinho as his team were also stunned

Jose Mourinho has threatened to initiate legal proceedings against match officials after he was red-carded for the third time this season.

The veteran manager was sent off at the start of the first half during AS Roma's Serie A clash against Cremonese at the Stadio Giovanni Zini on Tuesday evening.

Mourinho was sent off after he argued with fourth official, Marco Serra. He then took up his position in the stands as he watched his side lose 2-1.

He ended up storming down the tunnel before the centre referee blew the final whistle.

Mourinho sees red: what happened?

Speaking after the game, the 60-year-old, who was still angry at the decision, took issue with Serra and threatened to take further action.

"I am emotional but not crazy. In order to react the way I did, something had to happen first. I need to understand if I can take any legal action. I want to find out if there is an audio recording," he said as quoted by GMS.

The Portuguese manager also made an implication about Serra's hometown of Turin having its team, Juventus face AS Roma in the next league game.

The defeat handed Cremonese their first win of the season, which saw them move above Sampdoria into 19th place. Roma failed to go level with the Milan clubs in second and remain a point behind their Rome rivals, Lazio.
