WATCH: Mourinho sent off for storming pitch in penalty protest, now banned for Inter reunion
- Portuguese boss took appeals too far
- Sent to the stands as a result
- Will now miss a trip to San Siro
WHAT HAPPENED? That suspension from the touchline will deny the Portuguese tactician an opportunity to take in another emotional reunion with Inter at San Siro on October 1. He was sent to the stands on Sunday for taking his complaints too far when Roma were denied a spot-kick during the second-half of a Serie A encounter at Stadio Olimpico.
