Jose Mourinho has been filmed abusing match officials in an expletive-filled rant in the car park after he lost a European final for the first time in his career.

The 60-year-old was looking to become the most successful manager in UEFA competitions with victory in the Europa League final over Sevilla in Budapest.

He saw his side go 1-0 up in the 35th minute through Paulo Dybala, with Mourinho reacting with a "calma" celebration.

But he was anything but calm as the game went on, with Sevilla equalising after Gianluca Mancini put through his own net in the second half.

In what was a spicy affair, the former Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss was one of a record 16 individuals to receive a yellow card, taking his tally this season to five.

The clash went all the way to penalties, where Sevilla prevailed 4-1 after Mancini and Roger Ibanez both missed.

Argentina World Cup hero Gonzalo Montiel scored the winner at the second attempt after his first effort was saved by Rui Patricio, only for a retake to be ordered for the former Wolves shotstopper coming off his line.

Mourinho did not take the defeat well in the slightest and quickly picked up his runners up medal before throwing it to a young boy in the crowd and exiting down the tunnel.

And the Portuguese was utterly livid afterwards, with footage from SportItalia showing him angrily berating referee Anthony Taylor and fourth official Michael Oliver in the car park.

As he has done before, Mourinho waited for the officials and went over to the minibus which was taking them back to their hotel.

In English, he told Taylor to "f*** off*" and can also be heard saying, "F***ing disgrace man, it's a f***ing disgrace."

Mourinho then said, "Congratulations you f***ing disgrace" and also abused the officials in Italian before eventually walking off.

Roma had a huge penalty shout turned down by VAR when the ball hit the hand of Sevilla midfielder Fernando inside the area, while Mourinho bemoaned the decision to not give Erik Lamela a second yellow card.

He was critical of the officials in his post-match press conference, saying: "The truth is that we are all very sad, with or without crying the truth is this. We will get home dead of tiredness because of tonight’s unfair refereeing display.

“Great game, great final, intense, gritty, vibrant, but the referee seemed Spanish. Too many yellow cards for us then he doesn’t give [Erik] Lamela his second yellow allowing him to take a penalty in the end.”

Sevilla have qualified for next season's Champions League as a result of a seventh Europa League win in 17, while Mourinho missed out on the chance to become the first manager to win the competition with three different teams.

He has a year remaining on his contract at the Stadio Olimpico but has been heavily linked with Paris Saint-Germain.

“My future? I’m serious, I said a few months ago that if I had contact with any other club I would say it to the ownership, I wouldn’t do anything secretly," he explained.

"I talked to the club in December when Portugal asked about me, so far I haven’t talked to anyone because there is no team I’ve spoken to.”

“I can’t say objectively that I will stay. I have another year of contract with Roma, the situation is clear.”
