Renowned football manager José Mourinho has extended a formal apology to midfielder Renato Sanches after a tactical substitution that occurred a mere 18 minutes after the player was introduced.
The regrettable incident unfolded during Roma's Serie A clash against Bologna on a Sunday evening, resulting in a defeat for the team.
José Mourinho, formerly associated with Chelsea and Manchester United, faced scrutiny for the team's lackluster performance in the game, particularly in their inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. However, one of the most contentious moments was Mourinho's decision to substitute Renato Sanches shortly after bringing him onto the field.
In response to the raised eyebrows and questions surrounding the abrupt substitution, Mourinho clarified that the move was a tactical decision geared toward the dynamics of the game. Despite the manager's justification, he expressed remorse for the challenging situation it presented to Sanches, acknowledging the difficulty for both player and manager.
Mourinho stated, "I want to apologize to Renato Sanches. Subbing him off after 18 minutes is tough for the player, but it's also tough for the manager. I've made similar decisions 3-4 times in my career, and I'm sorry for the impact it had on Renato."
