“I dont like that he leaves his coach and the assistant coach [Gianfranco Zola] in a situation of great fragility. It saddens me for them,” Mourinho, who lost his job at Stamford Bridge in 2016 said.“Luckily I never had to go through this.”Both manager and player have played down the incident, which has left many in the game stunned.Im telling you the truth it was a misunderstanding,” Sarri told talkSPORT.
