AS Roma have parted ways with head coach Jose Mourinho following a poor run of form; the Giallorossi have won just one of their last six Serie A games, and sit ninth in the league; former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi has been named as Mourinho’s successor
Mourinho, 60, had been at the helm of the Serie A club since the summer of 2021 and guided them to the Europa Conference League title in 2022 and the Europa League final the following season.
The Giallorossi have won one of their last six Serie A games and were recently knocked out of the Coppa Italia by city rivals Lazio, where Mourinho was sent off.
They are ninth in Serie A, 22 points behind league leaders Inter Milan.
The 60-year-old also guided them to the Europa League final last season, where they were defeated by Sevilla on penalties. His contract was due to expire in June.
However, Roma have struggled domestically and currently sit ninth in the Italian top-flight — Sunday’s 3-1 loss at Milan was their third defeat in five league games and has proved to be Mourinho’s final game as boss.
