Why was Mourinho handed a 2-game ban?
Normally known to be a very cool customer on the field, Mourinho recently lost his cool during Roma's match against Atalanta resulting him in being shown a red card by the referee. The incident took place during the first half of the Serie A match on Sunday. Atalanta defender Caleb Okoli took down Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo inside the box. While Roma players appealed for a VAR check, Mourinho found it hard to keep a check on his emotions. The Roma manager stormed onto the pitch and urged the officials to have a VAR check with regard to the incident. However, he was shown the way to the locker room. Angry with the card, Mourinho further lost his cool and tried to confront the referee only to be held back by his support staff.
What's next for the Roma boss?
Having guided AS Roma to the UEFA Europa Conference League title last year, Mourinho will be aiming to guide Roma towards yet another piece of major silverware. The decorated coach has recently admitted to carrying on with the managerial job for few more years before calling time on his career.

The colour of my hair, yes, even the wrinkles, but I want to go on. Not for another 22 years, as there is no time, but for a few more years."
