All hell breaks loose: Jose Mourinho clashes with referee after seeing red

Jose Mourinho, head coach of AS Roma, was sent off at the Stadio Olimpico during the second half of his side’s intense match with Atalanta.
The Roma boss had to be restrained his own coaching staff and Serie A officials after he was given his marching orders the on-field referee, who did not award a penalty to Roma.
It all happened when Nicolo Zaniolo went tumbling over in the box following a tangle with the defender Caleb Okoli.

Then, all hell broke loose as the Special One tried to get to the referee to question the decision.
