Jose Mourinho was left fuming with refereeing decisions in the aftermath of Roma's Europa League final defeat to Sevilla on Wednesday night.
Mourinho's Serie A side had taken the lead thanks to Paulo Dybala's strike but Gianluca Mancini's own goal took the game to extra time and penalties, where Mancini and Roger Ibanez missed to crown Sevilla Europa League champions for the seventh time.
It denied Mourinho and Roma a second consecutive European trophy after last season's Europa Conference League triumph.
Roma's coaching staff and substitutes bench attracted criticism for their overzealous gamesmanship during the final. The Portuguese manager was booked for instigating a melee on the touchline.
After the game Mourinho took aim at referee Anthony Taylor while waiting in the car park of the Puskas Arena.
The former Chelsea boss was heard shouting, "F***ing disgrace man, it’s a f***ing disgrace", switching to Italian and then back to English before finishing with, "Congratulations, you f***ing disgrace".
Back in front of journalists he also targeted Erik Lamela, a previous squad member at Tottenham, saying the Argentine should have been sent off for a second yellow card.

Mourinho said: "Next year we won’t be playing the Champions League and that’s a good thing because we’re not made for it.
"I said we'd come out as winners or dead. We are dead, dead of everything, dead of fatigue. It is an unfair result with events against us...the referee seemed Spanish, yellows everywhere.
"And let’s hope that Taylor, only officiates games in the Champions League and does the same bull**** there that he did tonight, and not in the Europa League.
"[Lorenzo] Pellegrini falls in the box and given a yellow card; [Lucas] Ocampos did exactly the same thing and he doesn’t get one. It’s a scandal. VAR called the referee and shames Ocampos but there’s no card given. [Erik] Lamela – who, by the way, scored one of the penalties – deserved a second yellow but didn’t get it."
Mourinho has been linked with the Paris Saint-Germain post and did little to quell talk surrounding his future.
"I can't say I will be here next season," he said.
"I will go on holiday on Monday, then we will speak. I told the owners I will tell them if I start talks with another club. As of now no other club called me. It is time for me to talk to the owners. It is time for the owners to talk to me."
