Roma sacked Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has been sacked as Roma manager and replaced by the club’s former captain Daniele de Rossi.

Mourinho, 60, took over in May 2021 and led Roma to the Europa Conference League title a year later and the Europa League final in 2023.

But they are ninth in Serie A, five points off the Champions League places, and last week were knocked out of the Coppa Italia by city rivals Lazio.

With Roma 16th in the table, the former Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Tottenham boss said he had rejected the “craziest offer” to leave last summer. Mourinho’s contract was due to expire at the end of the current season.
