Jose Mourinho is certain to leave AS Roma. Because Roma fired the coach from Portugal who had managed I Giallorossi since the summer of 2021.
The news of Mourinho’s dismissal was first conveyed by European transfer market expert, Fabrizio Romano. Sure enough, a few moments later AS Roma issued a statement that they had officially parted ways with the coach nicknamed The Special One.
“AS Roma confirms that Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff will leave the club immediately. “Further updates regarding the new First Team coaching staff will follow soon,” read a statement from AS Rom, quoted from the Instagram account @officialasroma, Tuesday (16/1/2024).
“Thank you for everything on behalf of everyone at AS Roma, José!” added Roma’s statement.
According to news circulating, Roma is not satisfied with Mourinho’s performance in the 2023-2024 season. Currently, the Capital Wolves team is in ninth place with 29 points.
Of the total of 20 matches played in the 2023-2024 Italian League, Mourinho’s Roma were only able to win 8, the remaining 5 ended in a draw and 7 lost.
Last week, Roma were knocked out at the hands of city rivals Lazio from the quarter-finals of the 2023-2024 Coppa Italia and fans criticized the team for the first time since Mourinho’s appointment in 2021.
Yes, if you remember, the Portuguese tactician surprisingly moved to Roma in the summer of 2021. At that time he signed a three-year contract.
Since taking charge of Roma, Mourinho won the European Conference League in his first season and lost in the Europa League Final last season. Unfortunately, Mourinho did not reach the top four in his two seasons at Roma.
In fact, Mourinho’s contract with Roma will end at the end of June 2024. However, Roma decided to fire Mourinho more quickly.
According to Fabrizio Romano’s report, Daniele De Rossi, who is an AS Roma legend, will replace Mourinho.
