JOSE MOURINHO was accused of BOOING a Lazio Under-14 player and telling Roma’s youngsters to feign injuries.
The Roma manager, 60, has never been far from controversy throughout his 23-year managerial career.

The Portuguese was sent off for the third time this season on Tuesday night as his side lost to Cremonese.
And Italian newspaper Il Messaggero via Corriere della Sera report he was causing further problems two days earlier at Sunday’s youth Rome derby, which he watched with fellow coaches and some first-team players.
It is alleged Mourinho booed Lazio kid Alexandru Milou from behind the benches as he stepped up to take a penalty.
He also reportedly ordered the Roma academy talents to dive and pretend they are hurt or cramping in an attempt to waste time while leading 2-1 in the closing stages.
A Lazio news site, VoceLAzio, added that Mourinho and senior Roma squad players “assumed an attitude that goes against the lines of respect and sportsmanship” and accused them of “shameful gestures”.
Lazio are said to be furious with Mourinho’s behaviour and coach Tobia Assumma apparently confronted the ex-Chelsea and Manchester United boss to tell him: “No mister, this is not done.”
The first-team manager then posed for photos in the dressing room with the victorious Roma rising stars.
Within 48 hours, Mourinho was in hot water again as he saw red.
Cremonese won their first Serie A match in 27 years against Roma, who missed out on the chance to move into the top four and Champions League places.
And the fiery Special One blew his top at the officials before being sent to the stands after the minnows’ 17th-minute opener.
However, Mourinho is now considering legal action against fourth official Marco Serra, who is alleged to have told the Roma boss to “mind your own f***ing business” and “go home” during the explosive touchline bust-up.
Mourinho said: “I am emotional, but not crazy. In order to react the way I did, something had to happen first.
“I need to understand if I can take any legal action. [Referee Marco] Piccinini gave me a red card, because unfortunately the fourth official does not have the capacity to understand what he said to me.
“I want to find out if there is an audio recording. I don’t want to get into the fact that Serra is from Turin and on Sunday we are playing against Juventus.”
Mourinho continued: “For the first time in my career, a fourth official spoke to me in the most incredible way. It was unjustifiable.
“At the end of the game, I went to speak to them. Piccinini, who was the fourth official in the last game when I was sent off, told me to apologise to Serra.
“I told Serra he should have the courage to explain what happened, but he had memory problems.”
SunSport has contacted Roma for a response to the allegations of Mourinho’s behaviour.
