AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho received four UEFA Club competition match suspensions from UEFA. This was issued because of his behavior towards the match referee Anthony Taylor in the Europa League finals.
Mourinho has been issued a four-match ban by UEFA for abusing the Premier League referee during the final. The board has also fined €55,000 to Roma and has said that the team would play an away match where the away sector of the stadium would be closed.
The Portuguese manager and his staff were reportedly seen verbally abusing Taylor quite a few times during their loss at Budapest. A video also circulated on the internet where Mourinho was seen shouting at the officiating team in the car parking area after the match. Mourinho was heard yelling “disgrace” while pointing towards the match referees.
In the post-match interview, Mourinho took a dig at the officials and accused them of being partial. He questioned their judgments during the game. Mourinho said, “I need to defend my lads, and I must say that we are used to it, but still seeing this kind of refereeing in a European final is really, really hard. It was an intense, vibrant game with a referee who seemed Spanish. It was yellow, yellow, yellow all the time.”

AS Roma signs Ivory Coast defender Ivan N’Dicka on a free transfer
AS Roma has completed the signing of Ivory Coast defender Evan N’Dicka on a free transfer. The defender was a part of the German side Eintracht Frankfurt before he decided to leave as his contract expired and he wanted to look for new challenges elsewhere.
Roma has signed N’Dicka on a five years contract which is set to end in June 2028. He has been assigned the no. five at his new club. He has 10 goals and seven assists to his name in the last five seasons at the German club.

He said, “This club’s history and prestige made me want to come to Rome, which is a fantastic city that loves and lives for football.”
N’Dicka is the second free transfer Roma had completed so far. They have already signed French midfielder Houssem Aouar. He has penned down a five years contract with the Italian club after leaving his old club Olympique Lyon. He left the French club after playing 260 matches. He has scored 48 goals and 37 assists throughout his career at Lyon.
