Roma's boss labelled Anthony Talor "Spanish" after his team lost to Sevilla

It's a defeat that will leave a lasting stain on Jose Mourinho's career - and The Special One wouldn't accept it without venting a whole lotta anger after the UEFA Europa League final on Wednesday night. The Portuguese waited for referee Anthony Taylor in the carpark of the Puskas Arena in Budapest and gave him a piece of his mind.

Jose labelled Taylor a "fu*king disgrace" and told him to "go to hell" when he confronted him, angry with a string of decisions in the final that saw Sevilla take the trophy for the record-seventh time.

"Fu*king disgrace, man, it's a fu*king disgrace! Go to hell!"

According to The Angry One, Taylor "seemed Spanish" over 120 minutes in the Hungarian capital. The ref was card-happy, dishing out 13 yellow cards in total - seven of those were shown to Roma.

Sevilla midfielder Erik Lamela avoided a second yellow card for a foul in stoppage time at the end of extra time - and that decision set Jose off.

"The injustice is shown by the fact Lamela should've had a second yellow, he didn't, and he converted a penalty in the shoot-out"

Mourinho was so annoyed that he wouldn't even keep his silver medal - he just gave it away to a random Roma fan in the stands.

"Next year we won't be playing the Champions League and that's a good thing because we're not made for it. And let's hope that Taylor, only officiates games in the Champions League and does the same bullh*it there that he did tonight, and not in the Europa League."

Meanwhile, Mourinho said he was yet to make a decision on his future at Roma, amid suggestions he could leave following his second season at the club.

'I am going on vacation on Monday. If we have time to talk about it before Monday, we will. If not, I will go on holiday and then we'll see. I have to fight for these lads and therefore not say objectively that I will remain. I am a serious man. I told the owners a few months ago that if I had some contact with other clubs, they would be the first to know. I would always be honest and direct. I spoke to the club in December when I had that approach from the Portuguese national team. I have not had any contact with anyone else since then. I have a year left on my contract and this is the situation."

Could it be that we've seen Jose Mourinho's last European final?
