Mourinho doesn’t take second places. This is how he threw his medal to a fan after losing the Europa League final

For the first time in his career, coach José Mourinho failed to lead his team to a winning finish in the final match. His team lost to Sevilla in the Europa League decider. The Portuguese threw away the subsequent second place medal.

The Portuguese’s success rate and, above all, his experience at these crucial stages of the season is notorious.

Before the final duel between AS Roma and Sevilla, the coach had an incredible statistic.

In all 5 previous European Cup finals he had always managed to win. To make matters worse, his teams have not even conceded a single goal in normal time!

Wednesday’s match, played in the Hungarian capital, was the first time that Mourinho not only lost, but his team scored a goal, or rather scored one themselves.

The unfortunate scorer was AS defender Gianluca Mancini. The tie came down to a penalty shootout, where the Andalusian players were successful.

Mourinho and his team had to settle for second place medals, which is not a great satisfaction for a Portuguese personality.

This fact was helped by the coach’s own action, when he took off the award after presenting it and then threw it to one of the supporters in the stadium.

It was a very bitter defeat for the Portuguese. Moreover, Mourinho also very harshly criticized the head referee of the match Anthony Taylor. There was even a direct interaction with him in the bowels of the stadium after the game.

In the post-match press conference, he subsequently denied any speculation of a change in his current engagement.

“I want to stay in Rome, but my players deserve more, I deserve more. I’m tired of being a coach, the head of all communication, the face of a club where we have been robbed.”

“I want to stay, but with the right conditions, so that I can always give my best”, the Portuguese strategist let himself be heard.
