AS Roma has parted ways with head coach Jose Mourinho after a terrible run of form; the Giallorossi have won just one of their previous six Serie A games and are currently ninth in the league. Mourinho was in his third season at Roma when his contract expired in June.
Jose Mourinho has been fired by Roma, who are now tenth in Serie A.
The Giallorossi have won just one of their previous six Serie A games and were recently eliminated from the Coppa Italia by city rivals Lazio, in which Mourinho received a red card.
The 60-year-old joined Roma in 2021 and served as manager for two and a half years, leading the club to the Europa Conference League triumph in 2022.
“We will remember his tenure at Roma fondly, but we believe that an immediate change is in the best interests of the club.”
He also led them to the Europa League final last season, where they were defeated on penalties by Sevilla. His contract was set to end in June.
In a statement, the club said: “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 wish Jose and his colleagues the best of luck in their future undertakings.”
