Jose Mourinho, the Roma players and staff will not speak to the media after their 1-1 draw with Atalanta, which ended with a red card for the coach.
The Special One was sent off from the touchline in stoppages for dissent, having already been booked earlier, and will therefore sit out a ban for next week’s showdown with Milan.
Mourinho did not turn up for the media duties, nor did any players or directors representing the club.
The only statement given to DAZN and Sky Sport Italia was that Roma ‘prefer not to comment’ on the match.
Teun Koopmeiners had nodded in to give Atalanta the early lead at the Stadio Olimpico, but Paulo Dybala converted a penalty before half-time to secure the 1-1 result.
It leaves the Giallorossi in eighth place at the midway stage of the season, now four points off Fiorentina in fourth place, as the battle for Europe is extremely tight.
Roma have a big week coming up, as on Wednesday they face local rivals Lazio in the Coppa Italia quarter-final, then on Sunday go into a Serie A showdown with Milan at San Siro.
His touchline ban will apply in Serie A, as the Coppa Italia is a different tournament.
