AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho said he wore a microphone during his team’s Italian Serie A game against Monza on Wednesday in order to “protect” himself.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Mourinho said: “I am not stupid, you know. I went to the game with a microphone. I recorded the match – from the moment I left the locker room to the moment I returned. I protected myself.” The 60-year-old manager has been sent off three times in Serie A this season – most recently in February during a defeat against Cremonese.
” The Portuguese manager also suggested to Roma’s media team that other clubs influence which referees officiate their games. “I have to say that as a club, we don’t have the power that other clubs do – to say and demand: ‘This referee – I don’t want him,’” he said. “There are other clubs that do that, and we know clearly they do that because there are referees that never officiate these teams.

Germany, Italy clamp down on Italian mob with raids, arrestsPolice across Europe have arrested dozens of people, raided homes and seized 25 million euros in assets in a joint effort to crack down on Italy’s ’ndrangheta organized crime syndicate. In Italy, Carabinieri police backed by police helicopters served arrest warrants on 108 people for suspected trafficking of drugs and weapons; money laundering; and other crimes. The operation aimed to dismantle a network that reportedly moves tons of cocaine to Europe and Australia each year. Authorities say the investigation uncovered how the n’drangheta, Colombian drug producers and paramilitary groups used ports in South America to ship Colombian drugs to Europe. Italian officials say drug proceeds were laundered through restaurants, ice cream shops and car washes.
