AS Roma has parted ways with head coach Jose Mourinho after a tenure of two-and-a-half years. The decision comes on the heels of a disappointing performance by the Giallorossi, who have secured just one victory in their last six Serie A games and faced elimination from the Coppa Italia at the hands of city rivals Lazio, a match that saw Mourinho receiving a red card.
The Serie A standings further reflect the team’s struggles, as they currently sit in ninth place, trailing league leaders Inter Milan by 22 points.
Former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi has been named as Mourinho’s successor, tasked with rejuvenating the team’s performance and steering them toward a more successful trajectory.
Mourinho took charge of Roma in 2021 and enjoyed a tenure of two-and-a-half years, during which he led the team to victory in the Europa Conference League in 2022.
The managerial shakeup marks a significant chapter in AS Roma’s journey, with fans and football enthusiasts eager to witness the impact of Daniele De Rossi’s leadership on the team’s fortunes.
