Roma has parted ways with Jose Mourinho, effective immediately, as reported by the Daily Mail. The decision comes with the team positioned in ninth place in Serie A.
Mourinho, who took charge in May 2021, enjoyed a two-and-a-half-year tenure, securing the Europa Conference League title in 2022 and guiding the team to the Europa League final last season, where they suffered a penalty shootout defeat against Sevilla.
In a statement, Roma expressed gratitude to Mourinho for his passion and efforts during his time with the club, acknowledging the memorable moments he contributed. However, the club believes that an immediate change is in their best interests.
Lying five points away from Serie A’s final Champions League qualifying spot and recently eliminated from the Coppa Italia by city rivals Lazio, Roma faced challenges under Mourinho’s management.
His final match in charge was a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan on Sunday, a game he had to watch from the stands due to suspension. This loss marked Roma’s lone victory in their past six league games.
With Mourinho’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, ongoing speculation about his future culminated in the official announcement from Roma on Tuesday.
