In a column for the Daily Mail, Clattenburg revealed that Mourinho blamed him for Manchester United’s draw against Stoke City in 2017, an incident that eventually led to him being asked to leave the dressing room by the experienced referee.
“I can’t be bothered with idiots like that,” writes Clattenburg on Mourinho
Widely regarded as one of the most popular referees of his generation, Clattenburg was a fiery personality and didn’t shy away from making himself heard. Elaborating on his altercation with Mourinho, the Englishman said he went to bed that night thinking he’s had enough with ‘idiots like him.’
Clattenburg left the Premier League in 2017 for a role with the Saudi Arabian Football Association, where he replaced Howard Webb as the country’s Head of Refereeing.
Mourinho, on the other hand, was dismissed as Manchester United boss in December 2018. He is currently in charge of Serie A giants AS Roma after an unsuccessful spell with Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.
