Sevilla ruthlessly punished the Italians in the shootout, with Gonzalo Montiel firing home the winning spot kick, just as he did for Argentina in the World Cup final against France.
This led to Mourinho giving away his medal to a fan in the stand after the presentation.
“That’s what I did, I don’t want silver medals. I don’t keep silver medals, so I gave it away,” he told Movistar.
After the match, Mourinho said he was uncertain about his future at the club.
“I have to fight for these lads and therefore not say objectively that I will remain,” Mourinho told Sky Sports Italia.

“I spoke to the club in December when I had that approach from the Portuguese national team.
“I have not had any contact with anyone else since then. I have a year left on my contract and this is the situation.”
After the game Mourinho was also spotted having a go at referee Anthony Taylor.
