BREAKING: Italian Club, #Roma Sack Jose #Mourinho [DETAILS]—Roma have sacked Jose Mourinho with immediate effect, with the club lying in ninth place in Serie A.
Mourinho joined Roma in May 2021 and spent two-and-a-half-years in the role, leading them to the Europa Conference League title in 2022.
He also guided them to the Europa League final last season, before they were defeated by Sevilla on penalties.
In a statement, Roma owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin said: ‘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.
‘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 Jose and his assistants all the best in their future endeavours.’
The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss won 68 of his 138 matches in charge, but has repeatedly been at the centre of disciplinary problems.
Just last week, Mourinho was dismissed for the second match in a row after a violent and chaotic Rome derby in which his side lost 1-0 to Lazio.
His final game in charge was Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to AC Milan which meant the Stadio Olympico-based outfit had won just one of their past six league games.
