No more receiving red cards from the referee.

"My goal this season is to avoid any suspensions. But there's one thing I can't change, my honesty and truthfulness. It's a challenge for myself, but I will try not to have any problems with the referees," said coach Mourinho.

Coach Mourinho frequently argues with referees and receives red cards.

In his two previous seasons managing AS Roma, coach Mourinho was frequently banned from the touchline due to arguments with referees or excessive reactions during matches. At the start of the 2023-2024 Serie A season, Mourinho and his assistant Salvatore Foti were also banned from the touchline for 10 days due to an argument with a referee at the end of the previous season. They only returned to coaching in AS Roma's 1-2 defeat to AC Milan on September 2nd.

Coach Mourinho is also serving a four-match touchline ban in European competitions this season for insulting referee Anthony Taylor after last season's Europa League final. The outspoken manager will miss four matches in the Europa League group stage next week, when AS Roma travel to face Sheriff Tiraspol (Moldova) on September 22nd.

Coach Mourinho hopes he can control himself and avoid any problems with the referee.

Meanwhile, in the match against Empoli, coach Mourinho stated: "AS Roma must win all three points at the start of the season. We've had a rocky start (one draw, two losses), so we have to work very hard to improve the situation."

Empoli is a very difficult team to play against. I remember, none of our matches against them have been easy. We may be without Smalling and Pellegrini, but Lukaku is in good form, Dybala is back in confidence, and Azmoun is also a good option from the bench. Our goal is to win against Empoli and in the next match as well. I want AS Roma to get back on the winning track from now on; we can't afford to make any more mistakes."
