Former Catania chief Pietro Lo Monaco has taken aim at Roma coach Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho was sent off in defeat to Cremonese in midweek, meaning he's had more red cards this season than any PLAYER in Serie A.

Lo Monaco snapped: "The episodes in which he is the protagonist? Video is seen and reviewed, which are repeated especially in recent times.

"The Portuguese manages to pull the wool over our eyes but he's a technician who costs around eight million euros a year to Roma, with an expensive transfer campaign.

"The antics in which he is the protagonist only serve to look away from the problems and difficulties of the field, on which he prefers not to express himself. They are part of him and his character."
