The soccer world knows Jose Mourinho for his iconically fiery character and touchline antics. Undoubtedly, his career as a manager was illustrious, with numerous achievements. However, The Special One is also notorious for accumulating red cards because of his unfiltered reaction, which often entertains and shocks fans and pundits.

His current team, AS Roma, recently locked horns with Atalanta, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. The Portuguese manager, who was clearly disappointed with the match, lost his cool at a refereeing decision and reacted furiously. This ended up with him receiving another red card. Now let’s delve into some notable instances where Mourinho received a red card.

Jose Mourinho and his red card saga

The soccer world is well aware that no red card can stop Mourinho. However, it was least expected that he would get one during his team’s first game of 2024. The 60-year-old was already on yellow and later saw his protests, resulting in an early exit. Neither Mourinho nor his teammates talked to the press regarding the matter or the 1-1 draw.

Three red cards in Serie A 2022-23

The AS Roma manager became the ‘Serie A Red Card King’ when he received more red cards than any players or managers in Serie A in 2022–23. Mourinho was the infamous coach of the season after accumulating three red cards and three cautions just in the 2022–23 campaign alone. During this season, out of the players, only Luis Muriel, Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro, and Sebastiano Luperto received red cards more than once.
