Breaking news! Roma sack Jose Mourinho as Pochettino job also looks shaky at Chelsea
AS Roma have parted ways with head coach Jose Mourinho following a poor run of form.
Mourinho who is popular among the Giallorossi fans saw the sack, as Roma have won just one of their last six Serie A games, and sit ninth in the league.
Former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi set to be named as Mourinho’s successor on an interim basis, as Roma look to appoint former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte on a permanent basis at the end of the season.
A Roma statement read: “We would like to thank Jose on behalf of all of us at AS Roma for his passion and efforts since his arrival at the club.
“We will always have great memories of his tenure at Roma, but we believe that an immediate change is in the best interests of the club.
“We wish Jose and his assistants all the best in their future endeavours.”
Mourinho joined Roma in 2021 and spent two-and-a-half years in the role. The 60-year-old did pretty well, as he led them to the Europa Conference League title in 2022.
Mourinho also guided them to the Europa League final last season, where they were defeated by Sevilla on penalties.
