“AS Roma announces that José Mourinho and his technical collaborators will leave the club immediate effect“, announced the club on its social networks.
“We thank José on behalf of all of us at Roma for the passion and commitment he has shown since his arrival in the Giallorossi”, added the American tycoon Dan Friedkin, owner of the capital club.
Finally, the owner of Roma added: “We will always have a wonderful memory of his management, but we believe that, for the good of the Club, an immediate change is necessary. We wish José and his collaborators the best for the future.”
Local media indicate that the reason for the dismissal would be related to bad results obtained by the team in recent times, among these, the recent elimination in the Italian Cup against Lazio, its historic rival. They also haven’t won in Serie A for three dates.
Thanks for sharing everything in Rome, José!
