9. Gag order
Mourinho has never shied away from speaking his mind. Whether it’s about his fellow managers, other teams in the league or decisions made by match officials, his statements generate a lot of controversy. What’s been constant is that he usually stands by them despite criticisms. However, his mouth’s been shut after it got him two separate stadium bans one of which he already served. These were due to implying match officials were biased and an altercation with a referee at half- time.
In subsequent interviews after the bans, he refrained from giving his exact opinion on matters relating to match officials. This uncharacteristic silence isn’t something you’d normally expect from him.
