Mourinho’s farewell is just around the corner: Roma are in shock!
Mourinho’s farewell is just around the corner: Roma are in shock! The Portuguese coach is at the center of a rather lively controversy in the capital
The match without color with Torino, drawn 1-1 at the Olympic stadium, gave rise to the first whistles from the Giallorossi public. Seventh place in the ranking after 15 days is a bad alarm bell.
Roma finished the last part of the championship in the worst possible way before stopping for the World Cup. In the last two games with Lazio, Sassuolo and Turin, they just got 2 points. A few 1-1 draws and a narrow defeat in the derby are a picture of a really difficult moment.
Mourinho seems to have lost the pulse of the situation and the team is falling short of expectations. The many absences, especially Dybala, Pellegrini and Wijnaldum, have further impoverished a rose that was not already shining by its quality and depth.
The performance of players like Abraham and Belotti is practical, as well as some cornerstones of the group like Cristane and Mancini. After the Conference League victory, the club and the supporters expected much more. European success was meant to be a starting point and not an end point, even if the pitch says otherwise.
Mourinho is in discussion: the Friedkins are considering a possible replacement
José Mourinho, during the post-Turin press conference, it was quite clear. In his opinion, with these players and this state of form, physical and mental, we cannot do more. Someone reports rumors about the Friedkins not entirely agreeing with their technician.
They expect more from Serie A’s second-highest paid manager and also wonder about the future. The contract with the “Special One” expires on June 30, 2024, but apparently in June there could be a separation. No dispensation but a consented interruption of the relationship.
Real Madrid seem ready to hand Mou the post-Ancelotti project. At that time, the Portuguese coach would leave the capital of his own free will, leaving the Friedkins to choose the new coach. Rumors are already talking about Tuchel.
