‘It’s a joke’ – Mourinho reacts to Juventus’ 10-point deduction

Roma manager, Jose Mourinho has said that the decision to deduct points from Juventus for the second time this season is “a joke”.

The Bianconeri were first handed a 15-point deduction in January and dropped to 10th place.

The decision was overturned last month and Juventus went up into Champions League spots.

However, the former Serie A champions have been hit with more repercussions for their financial violations and illegal transfer dealings.

Speaking after Roma’s 2-2 draw against Salernitana on Monday, Mourinho told DAZN: “It’s a joke to know this with two games remaining.

“For us and everyone, even for Juventus. Our approach would have been different if we had known before the games with Monza and Bologna.

“I am sorry for [Massimiliano] Allegri and his players, but at the league level, I have to say that it changes things a little.”
