Italy's key match could be even hotter.
Referee Fabio Maresca, a kind of playful Jose Mourinho, during the home game against Milan last season, appointments for Saturday's Serie A match between Roma and Inter.
As a reminder of Il Corriere dello Sport, Mourinho was dissatisfied with Mareschi's refereeing in the Roma-Milan match last season.
The 42-year-old referee was especially lucky to lay a bunny at the tunnel for a sprig of whistle before the whistle for a break, having told one of the high-ranking assistants to talk to the arbitrator, the deputy of the new one, otherwise the Portuguese would have been slandered.
It is still unknown if Mourinho will be on the bench against Inter on Saturday, while the FIGC has launched an investigation after his application at the U-Power stadium near Monzi.
