The Roma manager had a score to settle with Papu Gomez after beating Monza on Sunday and used the Argentine's recent doping ban as the perfect opportunity to troll him

World Cup winner to serve two-year sentence after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs
A former teammate of Lionel Messi has been banned for two years after testing positive for a performance enhancing drug while playing for Sevilla in 2022
The Argentine forward went on to win the World Cup in December 2022 with the Albiceleste and also joined Monza on a free transfer before rupturing his ACL, forcing him to miss the rest of the 2023/24 season.
Gomez was absent as Roma took on Monza, but before the game, he made some disparaging remarks aimed at the Gialorossi boss, saying, “Mourinho? I only have one memory of him, and that is winning the Europa League with Sevilla against him.”
Mourinho gets his pound of flesh
However, Mourinho got his pound of flesh after not only beating Gomez’ Monza side but also seeing the Argentine receive a harsh doping ban.

Revealed: What Mourinho did to get sent off against Monza
Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho has courted controversy after getting sent off against Monza, but why did the Roma manager receive his marching orders?
Italian forward Stephan El Shaarawy’s 90th-minute goal ensured a win for Roma over Monza, and following the win, Mourinho cheekily said, “I’ve a cough, but I won't take any syrup or any pills. Or else I might have trouble passing the anti-doping tests.”
His statement was mocking Gomez’ response to the doping ban, in which the Argentine midfielder suggests that the banned substance found its way into his system because he took some medicine that was originally prescribed for his son to treat a cough he was struggling with.
Mourinho was also sent off during the match against Monza, but will still be pleased with the three points and the chance to get one over the former Atalanta midfielder who attacked him before the match.
