AS Roma has confirmed the sacking of former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho after the club’s recent poor performance in the Italian Serie A and Coppa Italia.
The Portuguese manager guided the Giallorossi to the Europa Conference league triumph in 2022 but has failed to replicate the same form this season.
AS Roma released an official statement on their website to confirm the sacking of Jose Mourinho as their first team coach.
“AS Roma can confirm that José Mourinho and his coaching staff will leave the club with immediate effect,” the club confirmed.
“Mourinho was unveiled as the Giallorossi’s 60th coach in May 2021. He led the team to win the Conference League in Tirana on May 25th, 2022, and to the Europa League final in Budapest last season.”
The board had good words for the former Real Madrid manager after parting ways with him.
“We would like to thank José on behalf of all of us at AS Roma for his passion and efforts since his arrival at the club,” said Dan and Ryan Friedkin.
“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 José and his assistants all the best in their future endeavours.”
