Mourinho's assistant fired for attacking opponent

In the 32nd minute of the match at the Olimpico field, when the ball went all the way, Roma defender Diego Llorente and assistant Foti wanted to put it back into play quickly. But Gimenez picked up the ball and threw it away. Foti also jumped into the fray, slamming Gimenez on the shoulder and neck before knocking the Feyenoord player over. Referee Anthony Taylor immediately showed a red card and sent the assistant coach to the stands.

When Foti received the red card, the score of the quarter-final second leg was 0-0, and Feyenoord was leading 1-0 after two legs thanks to a 1-0 result at home in the first leg last week.
