Recently, former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg spoke about an altercation he had with Jose Mourinho in an interview with camel.live.
“He thought I had missed a handball by Stoke City player Ryan Shawcross, and he insisted it should have been a penalty. He asked me, ‘Did you watch the replay?’”
“When he said he had already watched it, I lost my temper right away and threw my shoe in his direction on the spot. Of course, I didn’t hit him. He turned pale immediately, froze there without being able to say a word, and left the dressing room shortly after.”
“When I got home, I watched the footage again, and it turned out that Shawcross actually hadn’t handled the ball. Looking back now, that was just Mourinho’s mind game—an act of resentment and malice. After all, my relationship with Mourinho had long been not as good as it was when he was at Chelsea. He was so charismatic back then; everyone liked him and even called him ‘The Special One.’”
