AS Roma Sack Jose Mourinho After Two-And-Half Years In Charge
Serie A side, AS Roma has announced the dismissal of its head coach, Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese, 60, took over in May 2021 and led Roma to the Europa Conference League title a year later and the Europa League final in 2023.
Owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin thanked Mourinho “for the passion and commitment he has shown” as boss.
“We will always have great memories of his stewardship, but we believe that, in the best interests of the club, immediate change is necessary,” they added in a statement.
After the cup loss to Lazio, Mourinho compared himself to Harry Potter, suggesting his profile was “raising expectations” for what Roma could achieve.
That result was followed by a 3-1 league defeat by AC Milan on Sunday which left Roma five points adrift of fourth-placed Fiorentina.
