AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho is facing criticism following an incident at Budapest Airport, where referee Anthony Taylor was subjected to abuse by angry fans.
Taylor had officiated the Europa League final between Roma and Sevilla, which ended in a 1-1 draw and saw Sevilla emerge as the victors in a penalty shootout.
After the match, video footage captured Mourinho engaging in a heated confrontation with the referee in a car park, where he was heard using explicit language and referring to the Premier League as a “disgrace.”
