Former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager, Jose Mourinho, has left AS Roma with immediate effect on Tuesday.
Mourinho joined AS Roma in the Italian Serie A from Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League in 2021. On his first season he finished in 6th position, a position they finished on last season as well. There has been growing discord between the experienced manager and Roma.
“AS Roma can confirm that Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff will leave the club with immediate effect,” read a statement from the club.
“He led the team to win the Conference League in Tirana on 25 May 2022 and to the Europa League final in Budapest last season.
“We would like to thank Jose 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.”
AS Roma are currently in ninth position on the 2023-24 Italian Serie A points table having won one match in their last five. They have won eight, drawn five and lost seven matches this season.
