During his 2.5 years as manager, the seasoned coach guided the Serie A club to a Europa Conference League title in his inaugural campaign.
As he left the training site after being fired, Jose Mourinho appeared dejected.
In his two full seasons as coach, though, he failed miserably in Serie A, leading his teams to sixth place both times.
As he left the training site after being fired, Jose Mourinho appeared dejected.
Mourinho has been fired six times in his career. Roma, who are now tenth in the league, have chosen to split ways with him.
A deal has been reached for the Italian powerhouse to hire club veteran Daniele De Rossi as manager.
To acknowledge his departure, Roma issued the following statement: “On behalf of everyone at AS Roma, we would like to thank José for his passion and efforts since he arrived at the club.”His time at Roma was fantastic, and we shall miss him dearly, but we think it’s for the best that he leaves immediately.
“May all your future endeavors be fruitful, José and his assistants.”
The 60-year-old Mourinho’s unruly behavior on the sidelines has characterized his difficult tenure in Rome.
His theatrics on the sidelines last season earned him three yellow cards and three red cards.
After continuing to act out this term, the Portugueseman was sent off in October’s match against Monza for yelling at his opponent, Raffaele Palladino: “You talk a lot and then you cry.”
Mourinho ripped at Serie A referee Daniele Chiffi last season after Chiffi claimed to have “worn a wire” to avoid fines.
Chiffi is the worst referee the ex-manager of Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham has ever encountered.
I despise him. On paper, he’s terrible. Complete lack of compassion. There is no dialogue. Complete lack of awareness.
During his team’s lackluster 1-1 draw with Atalanta earlier this month, Mourinho was sent off.
Following last week’s ugly and disorderly Rome derby loss to Lazio, in which his team fell 1-0, Mourinho was fired for the second match in a row.
His six red cards in the past two seasons are more than any other Serie A player.
The Italian media were also targets of Mourinho’s criticism as his time came to a fall.
Even though he is fluent in Italian, he refused to speak it after last month’s 2-1 victory against Sassuolo.
As a result, local media were perplexed because he strangely only spoke Portuguese. An translator was sent in to help.
Things took a turn for the worst a few weeks later when, following his red card against Atalanta, Mourinho completely avoided the press.
Competitors’ triumph As a result of the high expectations he sets for his fans, Mourinho proudly referred to himself as “Harry Potter” after Lazio eliminated Roma from the Coppa Italia.
The Roma supporters are the most amazing people I’ve ever seen, he said. Jose ‘Harry Potter’ Mourinho is their coach, and he sets big expectations.
Whether I’ve played in 200 or 150 derbies, each one has been an unforgettable experience. I’ve had success, failure, and every in between, each with its own unique story.
Newcastle have shown interest in Mourinho, and Eddie Howe is facing mounting pressure, so he could not be unemployed for long.
Before they hired Dorival Júnior, he was also said to have been in the running for the Brazil position.
His annual salary at Roma was £6.4 million, and he received roughly £80 million in severance when he was fired.
He reportedly cost Spurs between £15 and 20 million to sell in 2021, while Chelsea and United paid a total of £37 million.
