In an unexpected turn, Roma parted ways with Jose Mourinho during a lackluster third season, leading to the departure of the “Special One” and his staff with immediate effect.
Mourinho, whose contract was set to expire in June, expressed his goodbye on social media, accompanied by an image of the Europa Conference League trophy from 2022.
The decision, deemed in the best interests of the club due to poor results, follows persistent rumors after a disappointing defeat against AC Milan.
Owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin expressed gratitude for Mourinho’s contributions but emphasized the necessity of an immediate change.
The 60-year-old’s initial popularity waned this season amid challenges, and former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi is rumored as a potential replacement.
