Jose Mourinho Kicks Four Players Out Of Team?

Jose Mourinho Kicks Four Players Out Of Team?

Borja Mayoral

Jose Mourinho seemingly responded to his Roma side's 6-1 loss last week by banishing four senior players to the stands, with the agent of one of those stars having since criticised the Portuguese tactician.

Click through the gallery above to see the four Roma players Mourinho is said to have discarded from his plans.

After being beaten 6-1 by Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Europa Conference League last week, Mourinho made the decision to leave four players out of his Serie A matchday squad against Napoli this past weekend.

The same players have been snubbed for Roma's league clash against Cagliari on Wednesday night, a list that includes Guinea international Amadou Diawara, who was once considered an up-and-coming midfielder in Italian football.

In the wake of that European defeat, Mourinho caused a major stir when he claimed that he only had 13 first-team players who are up to scratch at Roma, comments that have seemingly not been well received.

Borja Mayoral, Gonzalo Villar and Bryan Reynolds have also been dropped from Mourinho's squad entirely, along with Diawara.

Responding to the ex-Chelsea and Manchester United manager's actions, the Guinean's agent Daniele Piraino claimed that the tactician is creating an "uncomfortable environment" in Rome.

"Is Diawara being made a scapegoat? Is he being made to pay a heavy price for an error? Or is an attempt to force the club into acting in the transfer market?" he told Tuttomercatoweb.

"If it is for these reasons, rather than just poor fitness, or he feels the player is unable to understand the tactical requirements of the coach, then I think Mourinho is creating an uncomfortable situation.

"It is inexplicable, but Diawara will adapt. Amadou is an exceptional professional."
