The Portuguese manager has picked up a peculiar habit of picking up red cards and suspensions whenever his Roma side are due for a trip to San Siro, which the Special One once called home.
José Mourinho's most recent red card incident
The Roma head coach once again came under the spotlight after receiving a red card during Roma's recent 1-1 draw with Atalanta, his seventh dismissal in just over two years with the club, spotlighting his frequent clashes with match officials.
Mourinho's latest red card means he will miss the upcoming match against AC Milan at the San Siro, which holds special significance for Mourinho due to his previous successes there with Inter Milan.
His absence in key games at this venue has become a notable pattern, contributing to speculations about the underlying reasons behind these incidents.
Mourinho's history of San Siro absences
The trend of Mourinho getting suspended before Roma's games at the San Siro has been observed multiple times. He has missed a significant number of games against both AC Milan and Inter Milan due to disqualification, which raises questions about this recurring pattern.
Mourinho's absences at the San Siro include crucial matches, such as the Coppa Italia quarter-final in February 2022 and a Serie A match in October 2022.
He has missed one match against AC Milan and two matches against Inter during his spell as Roma coach, meaning he has been suspended for three of six possible appearances at the San Siro.
AS Roma's Disciplinary Record Under Mourinho
Since Mourinho's appointment, AS Roma has led Serie A in terms of red cards received. This statistic is a clear indicator of the team's disciplinary issues under his leadership.
The high number of red cards has affected Roma's performance in the league. Disciplinary actions not only affect the team's on-field strategies but also its reputation and standing in the league.
