Mourinho is one of the most successful football coaches in modern football and has won titles in Italy, England and Spain.

Last week while speaking in a press conference, Jose Mourinho was reported to have answered journalist Marco Juric in a way those in charge of the radio station considered as inappropriate.

Journalist Marco Juric's question below

“It's been six months since you signed for Roma, would you change anything that you've done in terms of choices, statements, requests or anything that you've done?”

Jose Mourinho's response to Marco Juric

"You are here in practically every press conference, but either you are very intelligent and you want people to think you are not or you are not intelligent at all.
“I want to think you're intelligent but you like to do what you do.”

Retesport released a statement below

"We wish the Giallorossi coach to work harder and harder in raising the fortunes of the team and to focus his attention on possible technical solutions, avoiding spectacular outbursts that, at this moment, we consider completely inappropriate.''

Mourinho is already causing ripples in the Serie A with his volatile personality which played out once again on Sunday, October 31, after he refused to conduct a post-match interview after defeat to AC Milan at home.

Sunday's defeat against AC Milan was Jose Mourinho's first-ever home loss in his Serie A managerial career and the former Manchester United gaffer was disappointed with the officiating

AS Roma players started the match impressively, but their moment of enjoyment on the pitch only lasted for 15 minutes before AC Milan found their rhythm.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the first goal for AC Milan in the 25th minute sending the home fans into absolute silence in the tough encounter.
