MADRID, 16 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Portuguese coach José Mourinho has been dismissed from his duties as coach of AS Roma “with immediate effect”, after the poor results achieved in Serie A, with the last defeat against AC Milan (3-1) that makes them ninth in the league, in addition to being eliminated in the Italian Cup against the eternal rival, Lazio (1-0).
“AS Roma can confirm that José Mourinho and his coaching staff will leave the club with immediate effect. We will always have great memories of his time at Roma, but we believe that an immediate change is best for the club,” the entity highlighted in their website with statements from Dan and Ryan Friedkin.
Mourinho was introduced as Romans' 60th coach in May 2021. He led the team to win the Conference League in Tirana on May 25, 2022 and to the Europa League final in Budapest last season.
Despite this, the entity has decided to change course in the middle of the season. “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,” stressed Dan and Ryan Friedkin.
The Italian club also assured that it will soon give more information about the coaching staff and the new coach who will try to reverse a complicated situation for the 'giallorossi' entity, which despite this is still alive in the Europa League and only six points behind the Champions League places in the domestic competition.
