AS Roma has terminated its association with head coach Jose Mourinho following a string of poor results. The decision comes as Roma secured only one victory in their last six Serie A matches, currently placing them in the ninth position in the league. Despite Mourinho’s popularity among Giallorossi fans, the club has decided to part ways with the coach.
Former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi is expected to step in as Mourinho’s interim successor, while Roma is reportedly eyeing former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte for a permanent role at the end of the season.
In an official statement, Roma expressed gratitude to Mourinho for his dedication and contributions during his tenure. The club emphasized the decision for an immediate change, believing it to be in the best interests of the team. While acknowledging the positive memories from Mourinho’s time at Roma, the club wished him and his assistants the best in their future endeavors.
Mourinho, who joined Roma in 2021, had a successful run, securing the Europa Conference League title in 2022. Despite reaching the Europa League final last season, where they faced elimination by Sevilla in a penalty shootout, recent performance struggles led to the decision for a coaching change.
