All the Mourinho and Roma complaints about referees and VAR ... (Football Italia)

Jose Mourinho ranted against referees and VAR, claiming they have cost Roma 'many points' this season, but what are the incidents he was referring to?

The issue of identifying handball is always tricky, especially when the ball hits another part of the body first, but Roma felt Matthijs de Ligt’s arm was in an unnatural enough position to warrant VAR intervention in the chaotic 4-3 defeat to Juventus on January 9. During the 1-0 defeat to Juventus on October 17, the referee stopped play to award a penalty before Tammy Abraham put the ball into the back of the net rather than give the advantage. The coach let loose after the 2-0 defeat to Fiorentina, openly blaming VAR Luca Banti for calling back the referee for an on-field review when Rick Karsdorp made slight contact with Nico Gonzalez’s shin for a penalty.

Mourinho doubts Arsenal-linked Abraham wants transfer but admits ... (Goal.com)

Roma boss Jose Mourinho admits that Tammy Abraham merely needs to “click his fingers” in order to make a Premier League transfer happen but, ...

“He made that option and I think he made it by trust in me, and I think in this moment, if he wants to go back to England – I don’t think he wants now – but if he wants to go back to England he just needs to click his fingers. With that in mind, and with a Stamford Bridge academy graduate enjoying his time in Italy, Mourinho has told Sky Sports of the speculation surrounding the forward’s future: “I don’t think it’s an easy decision for a young, local player to leave his club, to leave his house, his city, his country, to leave the Premier League – which of course is a competition that, when a player is in it, it’s hard to leave. Roma boss Jose Mourinho admits that Tammy Abraham merely needs to “click his fingers” in order to make a Premier League transfer happen but, amid talk of interest from Arsenal in the England international, he doubts a move will be made in 2022.

I always say the joke about qualifying for the [Conference League] final, I hope not to be sacked this time, because it’s something that doesn’t happen to too many coaches.

Jose Mourinho will be hoping to become the first manager to get his hands on the UEFA Conference League to cap off his first season at Roma.

The £34m man’s bullet header was enough to see off Leicester City in the semi-finals and his performances on the continent have seen him linked with a move back to the Premier League with Arsenal. But with the 33-year-old set to leave Manchester United as a free agent this summer, a move to Italy with Mourinho could be on the cards. But with his contract in the Italian capital expiring in two years time, Roma will have to decide whether to cash in on the former Inter Milan man this summer or not. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Serbian and Jose Mourinho link up for the third time in their careers. With Mourinho potentially offering European football and with places in the Brazil World Cup squad up for grabs, Luiz, who like Dalot and Bailly has been linked with a move to the Eternal City, could be tempted to pursue a move. Jose Mourinho will be hoping to become the first manager to get his hands on the UEFA Conference League to cap off his first season as AS Roma boss.
