Jose Mourinho left a bitter short note with his former Roma players after his sacking last month.

Mourinho was surprisingly shown the door by Roma and replaced by club legend Daniele De Rossi.

Il Messaggero is reporting the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager left two items with his former players after his departure.

A ring, which was gifted Mourinho by the players after they'd won the Europa Conference League two seasons ago, along with a note were left in captain Lorenzo Pellegrini's locker.

The note read: "When you are men, give it back to me."
