Jose Mourinho Spotted Avoiding Red Card Situation as Fans Say He Has Learned His Lesson

• Jose Mourinho was spotted walking away from a confrontational scene at the end of AS Roma's match against Napoli
• Mourinho had been booked during the game and probably did not want any further trouble with the match officials
• A tussle between the referee and the Roma players ensued after the final whistle, as Napoli bagged maximum points

A video circulating online has shown AS Roma boss Jose Mourinho hilariously avoiding a potential red-card situation at the end of his side's match against Napoli.

The fiercely contested match ended in Napoli's favour, courtesy of Victor Osimhen's strike 10 minutes from time.

After the final whistle had been blown, a scuffle ensued between players and members of the technical staff. Roma's Rick Karsdorp was particularly infuriated and was putting his point across to the match referee Massimiliano Irrati.

Irrati had retrieved a red card from his pocket when Mourinho approached him. But once the veteran head coach saw the card, he took a quick about turn and left the scene of the confrontation.

Mourinho has built a reputation for himself as an abrasive manager who always speaks his mind. He was aggrieved by certain decisions during the game and was booked for it.

Fans were quick to note that Mourinho did not involve himself in the scuffle, noting that he had learned his lesson. Last season, he was red-carded during Roma's clash against Napoli and had to give his instructions from the stands.

'The Special One' did not want to be away from the touchline for his next game.
