AS Roma sack manager Jose Mourinho following poor run

AS Roma announced the departure of manager Jose Mourinho on Tuesday following a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan last Sunday.

Roma currently hold the ninth position in Serie A standings.

The team has faced challenges in coping with the absence of key players, such as striker Paulo Dybala, who have been sidelined due to injuries.

"AS Roma can confirm that Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff will leave the club with immediate effect," the club said in a statement.

"Further updates on the new First Team coaching staff will follow imminently."

Having managed several prominent European clubs, including Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United, Mourinho assumed the role of coach at Roma in 2021.

During his tenure, Roma secured victory in the Europa Conference League, a third-tier competition, in 2022.
