Jose Mourinho has been enormously popular at Roma. His Serie A form had been less than ideal, but he had brought the club a European trophy. Yet his sacking in January 2024, amongst Roma fans came as a surprise.
To the outside world, a Mourinho sacking is part of the Portuguese’s legacy. But that wasn’t expected to happen at Roma.
How had he formed such a bond? And why was he dismissed in the end?

Roma just took the saying "If you love someone, let them go" too seriously
Bill Belichick of Club Football
@@CommunityNotesVerified Mike Keenan is the perfect comparison

Città Romantica
Problem with Mou is he is always brought when a Club is at a pickle. So he wins them a trophy, but after that the problems resurface again. So he becomes the obvious scapegoat.
Exactly! It's what I keep saying. Mourinho is still a top manager....but he is playing the game on "hard" mode. He only picks jobs where the clubs haven't won in years and don't have a great project. Just compare it with other top managers.
The problem with him is he is so unlikeable and toxic that as soon as he doesn’t bring success it is very easy to get rid of him because he can offer nothing else other than success. Doesn’t play nice football, doesn’t promote youth and blames everyone other himself. So if he isn’t bringing instant success he has no leg to stand on
@@raphaelnasser7084 Clearly u didnt follow him at Roma. He promoted a lot of youth players, the fans absolutely loved him
@@raphaelnasser7084 a lot of players spoke good about Jose, u think he's unlikable to the players because he's so vocal about everything (pogba, or that whole united squad even)
He went to Chelsea twice when they assembled a young squad able to fight for title and gave him ton of money to bring even more players. He was one of the reasons (biggest one) that Chelsea ended with Hazard-Oscar-Willian instead of Hazard-KdB-Salah - which would be arguably one of the best offensives in history of football.
He went to Inter, when they won 3 titles in a row and were dominating Serie A and his shopping and insistance of experience was big part of their dominance ending.
He went to Real, when they had Galacticos 2.0 assembled already and who won 2 titles 2 years before he came (i.e. 06-08, he came there at 2010).
He went to MU after they spent over 350mil over previous 2 seasons (and spent another 400mil under him the next 2 seasons). Without moving them to get single PL title.
He went to Spurs, who were consistently in TOP4 and they wanted to move for title. Instead they were out of TOP4 for 2 years under him.
He went to Roma, who were consistently around 6th place to keep them around 6th place.
He literally never went to club, who was failing. You could argue that all CFC, Real and Inter were destined to win, no matter Mourinho. And with teams that were not there, he did not help them to make it.
He would do well for the national teams. It’s suits his mentality
He does well everywhere imo
yet cant earn like he did in clubs
It suits his style of football, cup competitions.
Portugal should guve him a chance to manage the national team if the current coach fails.
@@MrAlepedrozatrue
Yes it was an iffy season but don't take the 9th place out of context, Roma were 5 points off top 4 when Mou was let go.
Up
@@tevildo45 time to go back to school, Roma on 32... atlanta on 36.. thats 4 points... 18th cagliari are on 18 points thats 14 points... are you slow in the head or? Roma want europe lol they just sold a bunch of their youngsters.
@@tevildo45 Neutral fan here. Roma had 29pts last week after AC Milan loss. Bottom five had 18pts or less. Also Roma's goal difference was fifth at +8. Bottom five had -10 or worse. But I guess not bothering to check the numbers in the table fits your agenda.
@@tevildo45 What "agenda"? It's not an ideological debate... it's a football manager getting sacked. 🤦🏻
@@tevildo45 get a life 😂
It's called the Jose Mourinho paradox
Gets sacked 5 months after a PL title
Gets Sacked 5 months After finishing 2nd
Gets sacked 3 days before a final
Gets sacked 4 points off top 4 after 2 back to back European finals
The Jose Mourinho paradox
@@BrandonAyongthe 3 days before a final is an exception though, that’s just spurs being spurs
@@Deathmare235 True 😂
@@Deathmare235mourinho will break their tradition of getting no cup so they gotta sack him
@@BrandonAyong Tuchels career will be similar. Genius coach, but no own gets along with him...the Elon Musk of football.
Roma were indeed a penalty kick away from Winn the Europa League but Anthony Taylor and his VAR assistants didn't give it
Roma couldn’t get the job done in 120 mins
@@tevildo45 neither could Sevilla then
Josesaurus lost the final, his whole thing is about winning and now the clown is clinging onto 2nd place😂😂😂absolute dinosaur
@@tevildo45 We get it, you're a Lazio lover in secret. Get thee hence, Satan!
Roma was also a penalty not given away from being knocked out by Leverkusen.
If you want to play that game
As a Roma fan I have to say that I will forever support this man. Just pure love for football no matter his playstyle
I'm a Madrid fan and I feel the same about him after he left Madrid.
He is a great manager for every club he has took over and very successful every leage he has managed as manager for the team.
As a Roma fan as well this was a huge shock and I still will never understand why he got sacked. He was and still is a legendary manager who has done great things for this club. Best of luck to him in the future and hopefully we bring him back one day.
@@superdream4562i agreed, except for Tottenham.
Yaaaaaaay he won you a Conference League "title". Pitiful ambitions for a "big" club fan base, just reeks of Tottenham.
A couple of weeks before they were 9th, they were 4th. In an extremely competitive league. It kinda looks like someone was finding the correct timing for something previously decided.
So after their worst serie a campaign for 20 years he was fired
@@tevildo45 was it over?
@@gajogrande that guy is just commenting anti jose things on every coment he finds lmaoo
Was definitely previously decided - the reason Mou was fired was because Roma could no longer afford him.
Can’t see lukaku and Dybala being in a Roma jersey next season. When Abraham comes back he’ll likely want to jump ship as well. The high profile loans will stop flowing in and the still important ageing players like stalling will want out too. No money, relying on a managers reputation to sign free transfers and loans I can see this going very bad for them
Sadly I think you are right
Roma desperately needs to rebuild, and that couldn't be done with Mourinho. We must get rid of overpaid old players, and buy new young players. Spinazzola, rui Patricio, lukaku, paredes, smalling, belotti, elsharawy and so on: huge salaries, mediocre performances, impossible to sell. This is why we have third highest salaries in the league
@@francescogreco9826 Roma can’t rebuild with these current owners simple. It’s 2024 not 1987. U need money to compete at the top. they can try to get young talents but they’ll leave to a better club
@@Shm000 we got uefa restrictions buddy
If you think the entire history of rome would just fade because of a manager getting sacked. lol. Totti and his empire are way bigger than mourinho. I guarantee we’ll do better next season
Mourinho has proved he's still a great tournament manager but not a league one anymore. He should manage a national team now.
I wonder why he isn't a good league manager anymore. He used that same style of play he uses now when managing Man United and Tottenham hotspur, though his league form started declining at those clubs.
Yeah, I think you could have a point. As a Roma fan, I think the injuries and the poor management of the fragile players has impacted heavily in this situation
He's not a league manager anymore despite having 15 mill to spend in his last 2 seasons???
his tactic is not fluid as other top coach, his squad depth hard to make rotational team selection (no big game player/superstar too), bad management
@@diegopilone7036😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I will say, in years and years time, when we look back on his time as a manager and compare him to others around him, we will all say that he was kicked about quite a lot by the game. You think of the big names he went toe to toe with, Fergeson, Wenger, Pep, all managers whose reigns were notable for either a) someone taking a chance on a newcomer because they were talented, b) them going through a bad spell and being given a lot of time and trust and patience, or c) both, and Mourinho never really got that. He had to win the Champions League with Porto for anyone to even notice him.
He learned his trade at Barca, who seemingly never believed in him. He is certainly Chelsea's all time greatest manager, and he came back to the club when they needed him, and they dumped him twice without much thought. He got treated as a hostile force at Real Madrid, and the fans baulked at his audacity for thinking he should be allowed to pick his team, and decide how they play. He won things there too, against Pep Guardiola's Barcelona mind you, and he got chucked out anyway and they were glad to see the back of him. At Man U he was treated as a joke, no more so than when he said that getting to 2nd with them was one of his greatest ever performances as a manager, which, in hindsight, it actually might have been, and they asked him not to slam the door on the way out. We talk about him being combative or his 'us against the world' mentality, but I wonder how different things could have been if 1 of those teams had put their foot down and decided to stick with him.
I was thinking about thst too. Klopp in 7 years only won a premier league, a cl and some(not a lot) cups, yet hes regarded as one of the best managers of the last 10 years(rightly so). Mou won 2 european cups with porto, went toe to toe w sir alex and even went above and beyond that for 2 seasons, won the treble with inter, won la ligas against the best football side of all time and then came back to england and won again. He is very underrated.
@@nickd987 Not only toe to toe with Sir Alex. Man clawed his way against Rafa Benitez and Arsene Wenger, who also in hindsight was as much of a manager as Sir Alex.
If a club ever decided to stick with him, their club wud prolly be burning by the time they part ways. His style has always been scorched earth lol
Because his football is not sustainable, the moment he stops winning his teams look extremely bad winning no sign rejuvenation because of his brand of football.
Klopp wasn't winning titles in his first two seasons but everyone could see the potential of the team.
Y'all complain about Spurs sacking JM 3 days to final bcuz y'all refused to acknowledge how bad that Tottenham team was performing in the EPL, same as he used the conference league win as a decoy to cover for his abysmal league performance
im a roma fan and literally was crying that day
Simp
@@tf2368 I'm sorry for you who obviously don't feel the same passion from this beautiful sport
Lazio is the main club in Roma.
@@waleed8530 not from supporters amount nor presence in Rome nor for Name, so I disagree
Imagine having the biggest Coach Legend ever in YOUR HOME TEAM and your AMERICAN OWNERS XDDDDD sack him. You Italians are so cucked. You love your trad clubs but they arent yours. They belong to the chinese and american investors. Napoli and Juve are owned by rich locals but thats it for the big clubs. The same goes for all premier league clubs. Owned by jews,americans, russian oligarchs. Your Leagues got conquered. Not yours anymore.
The fact that the transfer situation made such a big deal within the Roma hierarchy makes the Anthony Taylor controversy even more important. Referees NEED to be held accountable, just as any other person in the World who has a job is. People don't look at the evidence and only go with their bias. The replay even after all these years is still available for people to see. It was a clear robbery. Roma had the match won. Taylor made in incredibly horrible decision and cost Roma the match. Jose had every right to do what he did.
Rather than admit his faults, Taylor complained like a coward. The person who was wronged was eventually sacked.
But you never bring up the clear penalty denied to leverkusen in the semi final. Doesn’t suit your agenda
Anthony Taylor is one of the worst referees of all time, his Chelsea bias is so clear and I support Liverpool
If Mourinho didn't have a reputation for whinging about referees maybe people would have taken him more seriously.
I think its about time we see a vid about xabi alonso’s leverkusen this season,
.
They are absolutely out of this world and deserve credit for the work they have done
They just did a week ago
Portugal will have Mourinho, Klopp with Germany and Guardiola with Spain for the next world cup. It would historically beautiful.
Imagine 😮
Simpsons 2026 prediction of Portugal winning the world cup is starting to sound more believable NGL
I don't think klopp will do it though, he said he was running out of energy.
The Dyche Love Island bit is brilliant. Most comments are talking about Mourinho which is good, I'm just surprised no-one mentioned it.
The Europa League loss was the first nail in the coffin. How different things would be had we won that trophy and qualified for the Champions League.
While I had my issues with Jose, I loved him! He gave us something we never experienced.
It's so heartbreaking and draining to be a Roma fan but I wouldn't change it for the world.
He also wouldn't have qualified for Europa League but for the Juventus penalty.
Mourinho has one of the cult fanbases in the world mahn 😂😂
@@nyasha_ish Dawg, his fans are all delusional
At that time, i tought of that loss as something they would emerge, they were almost there, gave it all. Really tought about them growing from there...
@@jimmywalker8354 Dellusional for his results? i don't agree at all. Take a better look of his career
As a Roma fan, the most significant moment of Mourinho's tenure at Roma and perhaps in the club's modern history was Anthony Taylor's failure to award a clear-cut penalty for Roma in the Europa League final against Sevilla. Everything changed after that. The stakes were just too high -- second European trophy and qualification in UCL. As much as I was tired of the way Mourinho used referees as scapegoats during his time at Roma, it was almost a self-fulfilling prophecy: Taylor and his VAR team made a truly indefensible and inexplicable decision that night.
You need to talk about how they sold Ibanez without giving any thought to what Jose wanted. Ibanez was the first choice cb and the standin captain last season
false, but he was a key player that wasn't replaced
Except Ibañez was absolutely trash and no, he wasn't "standin captain".
Selling Ibanez was doing him a favour, man.
Clearly not a Roma fan. We needed to balance the books and Saudi was willing to pay for a cb who was awful last year
both derbies were lost in ibanez’ final season with roma directly because of him. totally embarrassing and a great way to lose support in rome
Roma had the 17th lowest spend in serie a. Shouldve been backed more and atleast have had given the europa league campaign where he couldve done something
Did you miss the part where they were bollocked by FFP
@@atsurokihara5525 that's more of a reason to not sack then. Tifo have made it out to be based on a pure performance decision when it really was a financial decision
@timeisontheessence5407 They were 9th in league one of their worst league campaigns in decades closer in points to 18th than third with the third highest wage bills but Mourinhosexuals can’t handle facts
Up
Roma broke the bank in Jose's 1st season.. spending 130mil... The problem was that they didn't qualify for UCL that season which destroyed their plans@@timeisontheessence5407
Well not enough emphasis is placed upon injuries. Since the half way mark of the last season whem Dybala was injured against Verona many players had been in and out including Dybala who could only play 45 to 60 minutes . Pellegrini has lost time as well , Aouar , Renato and many more . Who can build a competitive side whose only available players week in week out were Mancini ,Llorente,Bove, Cristante and 1 or 2 more?
Everyone gets injuries stop using excuses
@@tevildo45 Well you call it excuses but go through Roma injuries since mid last season and tell me who could make that side title challengers . Maybe long term Jose was not the solution but they keep portraying that tenure like they were horseshit in the league
Well, for example, not buying players with historical injury proneness?
"Oh golly, Renato Sanches got injured again, totally unexpected"
@@Numero6dl well with the FFP restrictions that was the best possible . Sign aouar on a free and renato on loan. Even if you go and look back at rumored players they werent better. If Roma had better finances (disastrous Monchi stint ) then Mou would have been afforded better and non injury prone players off of his reputation alone .
2:10 Dyche to Love Island?
2:16 Dyche Love Island nightmare
That has to be the most random thing I've seen in 2024 so far, fair play 😂😂😂
His policy of threatening to dump player if they did not perform well(even for a game) clearly created an unneccessary hostile environment. Furthermore his fear of risking players' injuries resulted in his decision to restrict the team to go all out and attack.
6:07 this message was towards Lazio ultras after a street fight where Police blocked the Roma fans from reaching Lazio, the Die with dignity part is about the former ultra group Fedayn who lost their group banner to Red Star Belgrade and had to stop
Good info
Legend, please come back to Chelsea and the PL! we miss you mou!
There are a few things to say that would give a more realistic spin to the whole story:
The "decreto crescita" was not a tax break for soccer teams, it was used as that, but it was a general tax relief measure during and right after the pandemic
AS Roma is not a good team this year, their best players are injured and they're full of has beens and gambles hired for cheap in hope of Jose doing miracles
The sacking of Mourinho might have been an act of courage, but it has been followed by a really low hiring: De Rossi is young and umproven as a coach, but he's an idol at Roma, therefore he signed the cheapest contract in Serie A and no matter how good or bad he does he will always (and rightfully) have the love of all the fans
Bro you need to learn how to use a full stop
you lost me at "soccer teams"
Yes, cause club legends turned managers are never asked to leave the club by the fans
@@gewnurba lot of non english born, english-speaking people use soccer instead of football to be clear and because our media is americanized. If you cant read past something like that it really just shows the incompetence of your brain.
Dude was ROBBED of a Europa league, ROBBED. I am a Porto fan and I was happy to see him loved in Italy because the man has been slandered in the UK.

Nothing relevant since 2015, football has moved on from his tactical philosophy.
José lately comes to clubs when they are in trouble. He fixes some. They resurface and he's the scapegoat. Just like Ancelotti before going to Madrid.
You also have to consider the luck factor: Mourinho's Roma would've finished top 4 the previous two seasons on xPts and they are currently 5th on xPts.
In fact, his first season at Roma was notorious by how much the team was underperforming their xG. Mourinho tactics worked, but the players underperformed on the box.
Always an excuse
well, football is a bit more complicated than an expected ... percentage.
yours is a very very one-dimensional approach to analysing a team and their manager.
Many managers would have retired after the 1st or 2nd sacking but Mourinho didn’t! He’s a worrier and one of the greatest managers ever. He defied the odds countless times and a love that he’s a tough manager cus then you see who can perform under pressure and who can’t. He’s also so passionate about his teams and the sport and I always love that. With all this being said I think maybe he has one more good or known club in him before he should take a national team job or retire. But he will always be the special one
Respeito máximo ao grande José Mourinho, "O mais que Especial".
The podcast guys... Bring back the podcast.
Good article - can't wait for the next one where we find out what happened to Dyche on Love Island. Now thats a story.
0:32 Woooow, this beginning has been so fricking sad, at least if the uproar is loud enough he could accept a return. BUT he must produce ofc
1:31 Ooooohhh thats too sweet, especially from a guy like him. What must happen for such love to come from a place?!
He makes them win trophy & its make suporter/fans happy👍
I hated super league but Italian clubs must need one to counter UEFA constraint and double standards.
There are few manager who are feared by opponent, they are face of team instead of key players who play on pitch, example klopp, guardoia, ancelloti, Mourinho, nagelsmann
Nagelsmann :D
It's truly sad to see. I hope he is appointed somewhere relevant again soon. I don't want to live in a world where Mourhino is not prowiling around the great leagues of Europe. He will be wasted in Saudi, he needs and deserves his public. Benitez is of that same generation, not as successful but at his peak was one of the best managers around. Whereas football can maybe carry on without Benitez i think it still needs Jose. Most modern day so-called great managers have zero personality. If Liverpool can't get Xabi Alonso I'd almost be willing to take a risk with Jose..shocking i know but imagine the redemption arc!
No manager knows how to get under peps skin like Jose either. Straight up called him a cheater with inter and Real Madrid, said he’s the only manager that complains the ref makes the right call and the more recent “he can take the ball home with him I’ll take the three points”
@@aaronkeane4914 The only manager to ever drive Pep away from a team. Not even Klopp could do that
Thanks Mourinho 🙏 big fan from Denmark 💛❤️🐺 and good luck in the future.
For all who’s saying he’s done at club level & should move on to cups - wait till he proves you wrong like Don Carlo.
Ancelotti was managing Everton 2 yrs ago after failed stints at Bayern & Napoli. Everyone called him “washed”. Now he’s won his 4th CL & gonna win the league this year, and he’s labelled “GOAT”. Doesn’t mean he was not bad at his previous jobs. He was.
But all it takes is a good club with proper structure to win something.
Jose has been on losing projects for the last 7 years starting with United. But he’s still managed to win at every club.
One good project is all it takes. Until then, kids keep drinking the koolaid, those who know the game, be cool!
Well said 💯
not Spurs, but that wasn´t his fault. Those fuckers sacked him shortly before a final.
That's true. Legendary managers like Mourinho and Ancelotti are way too downplayed by all these "tacticos".
@@maxomat4319 he said it was half a cup as he made it to final. So meant it like that.
Mou should try for liverpool. The club already has a good structure in place and all aging players have been replaced. They only need a good cdm.
Difícil vuelvan a tener un DT de ese calibre. Uno de los mejores de la historia.
mourinho's cycle - first year great, 2nd year decent, 3rd year - gets bored, team plays shocking, he gets sacked with a massive pay out
They are 4 points off 4th. But then again so are like 5 other teams
Damn
Good video but too short. Was expecting at least an hour
It all boils down to no CL football, it is very important for Italian clubs the extra income it provides goes along way.
Superb content as usual.
that lazio and milan loss was the tuning point
as a united fan i love mourinho great manager sadly where ever he goes its either the board or players that let him down.
I never liked Jose even when he came to united but when he left.....I finally understood him and now I have nothing but respect for him
You put the picture from ManUtd winning Europa League instead of Roma winning Conference League XD
sad to watch him go! I think Roma will regret it.
Are the people at TIFO really so dumb that they cannot do a bit more research to know the distance between 9th and 4th place was 5 points?
Mourinho at Roma reminds me of Mike Leach in American college football , a great coach who’s record is lower than his coaching prowess due to enjoyment of rebuilding a team
I can’t even explain why but if he goes to Crystal Palace I wouldn’t be surprised
Would suit him I guess, he likes to play relegation team park the bus counter tactics. But first, CP needs to get into a Euro competition, Jose exists for those.
I’ve got a theory, crystal palace fans are just augmented people, I have never met a single CP fan in my life or seen one of their jerseys
@@Schlesticletheres loads of them in South London around Bromley & Croydon
@@Schlesticle probably in jail
@@te4500 those places are fake and non existent
great video
The amount of money that got spent on that team is ridiculous for how little Mouriniho achieved. If I was a Roma fan I'd personally be furious on how little he really achieved. People can say what they want about Jose but its simply unacceptable that they never truly challenged for Champions League football under him.
The dude built such a cult of that even here his fans are blaming everything and everyone but him for such obvious failure.
Even his insistence on signing Bonucci was an instant red flag.
The issue with Jose ultimately comes down to his insistence to play mind games and antagonise his opponents. He very much uses "dark arts" football tactics.
This is why he got 16 touchline bans in Roma, forcing him to watch from the stands, why he's had that issue in almost every club he's ever been in. Why he has been fired more than 5 times now.
He sets up his team in a "us against the world" mentality and while it works, its great but when it stops working, it becomes absolutely horrible.
I feel bad for him but then again, you can't deny that many of his issues are his own fault.
I don't think his galvanizing character or his antics are the problem, they're the symptom.
It all stems from his unwavering insistence of training with conditioning. He will manage his group on a cyclical intensity level, on a crescendo when matches are coming (specially important ones) and nitpick every single tactical possibility on the pitch for said match. And this in turn becomes overbearing for his players (and when we're talking about stars, elite footballers, or "streets wont forget" types, it doesn't usually come out well).
And one of his tools for handling pressure is that he becomes the man carrying the banner, the face of the controversy.
-------
Another point worth being mentioning is how antiquated he feels at times. Not just tactically but also in handling players or interactions with the administration of the clubs he's in.
He'd rather be fired than to accept anything being asked of him.
He so good like he'll win you trophy's but he cant keep the momentum up past 2 years. It would be interesting to see him go into national management
I've never really had an affinity towards Jose, but seeing him cry on his departure from Roma genuinely made me sad.
5:22 Ironic because everyone was saying Chris Smalling revigorated his career and the moment that’s the case he is gone injured 😭😭 Roma can’t catch a break. That Bonny I signing would of been good
Jose IS a great manager. He just isn't the guy like Fergie to stick with a club long-term. He runs on a three-year cycle and then things tend to come to an end. But he has changed the culture and had enormous success at Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Madrid and Roma. I also think he was very good for United with how inept the board was and deluded that the squad was up to standard. And yes he didn't win Madrid a CL title, but that was with peak Barcelona at the top of their powers and he already won 2 with Inter and Porto, both treble seasons. He usually clashes with the board or becomes unhappy because he has strong views and expects to be fully backed. But for a guy who doesn't last long at clubs, he just wins trophies. Over, and over, and over again.
In Italy tranfer balance accounts for less points per game variability than payrolls, moreover, there is colinearity between the two, meaning that you don't even account for transfer balance or that you regularize it to a lesser weight if you want greater accuracy in explainig/predictiong PpG. Mourinho is a hack and that is that!
I would feel bad about Mourinho being vetoe'd out of signing Bonucci since I have lots of respect for both and they'd make a great duo
BUT, I cant because I'm a Fenerbahçe fan
crazy how both of the managers who made it to the europa league final last season(Roma&Sevilla) got sacked mid season
This man's team got me into football and Roma fandom last season. I knew him as "that guy from the Many Men meme" before catching up on the lore. Mourinho's Giallorossi were an unforgettable 10/10 sports drama filled with idiotic red cards, broken ligaments, and broken dreams. Daje Jose 💛❤
Mou is one of the best in the game period.owner need to communicate to manager they choose.
Jose Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world its sad to see his downfall
Come to Fenerbahce 💛💙
Roma were only a few points off top 4 and had better underlying numbers when they sacked him. Plus their squad is probably 5th-6th best in Italy. It makes zero sense to me.
That's a pic of Mourinho lifting the Europa League after the win with Man U in 2017. Just an observation!
They are 1 point away from 4th. The league is pretty competitive with 10th place Genoa being 7 points away from 5th Roma
This is why you never let Americans in charge of European football clubs/teams, look at Chelsea and now Roma.
Emh actually sacking Mourinho was the best decision
When you look at their team on paper, they should be challenging
They should of kept supporting Mourinho... He probably would of taken a paycut to stay at Roma longer. I felt as if he wanted to build that team. Two finals back to back is unreal. The Team got better and the problem was the owners didnt support him this season... They should of just let his contract expire at the very least. Totti isn't even a serie A quality manager, what a joke of a move just to save money from the friedkins.
I think i saw him more in the tribunes on the seats then next to the pitch with the all red cards he got.
1st mourinho and now klopp but klopp had to leave not been sack but still it make my heart break 💔 😢 to see this two have to step down in their club
actually both of them have common thing in terms of who broke both of them which is Pep Guardiola
@@johnlau6749 No, Mourinho made Pep run from Spain. Pep didn't break him, he broke himself. As for Klopp, Pep being so dominant is definitely a part of why he's leaving, so in that regard, yes
@@zeinmets3550 bro, remember first few years Mourinho join Real Madrid?
@@johnlau6749 Yes, he denied Barca their 2nd treble under Pep, then got 100 points and made Pep run away to New York. That's what happened
@@zeinmets3550 but afterwards Pep completely broke both of them tho. Whether u like it or not, Pep has changed football forever
Mourinho now should focus on national teams. He has the right skill set for it. I just think club management is too much for him now
As a Roma fan I do think it would have been better to keep Mourinho until the end of the season, now this season isn't the best but he did keep us in contention to get into the top 4 even while we were in 9th place especially now we are in 5th after our win against Salernitana. The north has always been the football juggernauts and even at our best it would be difficult to keep up with them. It doesn't excuse the poor performances especially against teams that we are equal to or normally better than but expecting Jose to bring us to a Serie A title at this point (while it would be amazing) is a very high expectation. I love De Rossi, but his managerial resume compared to Jose is very worrying since this is his second job at a club that is much bigger and has a lot more pressure than SPAL which he did get relegated and I am very scared this could be the same as when MAN UTD brought in Ole who shocked the system and delivered amazing results at first just to fall flat once the dust settles down.
I am grateful for the results in European Cups, but the Serie A results were disappointing to say the least. This season, we won only one match against the Serie A top 10. The squad is undoubtedly poorly built and some players are not good enough for top 4 but come on, it was possible to do way better, especially given Mourinho's wages. I don't think sacking him will solve all our problems, but I understand the owners' trying to launch a new dynamic while the season can still be saved (+ we played horrible football)
They should've sacked the whole starting XI, not Mourinho.
He's sorta finished sadly, He's gone from winning against a prime barca to Celebrating against the likes if feyenwood
Shame it didn’t work out for Dyche on love island
As a Roma fan... That missed handball penalty in the UEL final was the cause. Qualifying for the UCL would have given Roma a needed boost to the budget and attracted players during the summer, I really liked Mou and will always be glad for bringing that first European trophy in 2022 (ending a painful 14 year drought of any trophy). This is the first time I hear about how the gvt ended the tax break on coaches and players and now it all makes sense.
Could do with the special one at Barry town, don’t fancy going back to the Cymru south
Too early for troll comments anyway , I love roma, Jose and tifo. I love football to say the least.❤

This would’ve been absolutely genius
I wonder what would happen if he was hired by a top-10 team in England, Spain etc and be given the budget of Pep, Ancellotti, Klopp etc. Would he still be able to deliver results and trophies at this level in 2024?
Now he's got to wait for Martinez to no not make it out of the Group Stage at the Euros.
In many comments I see that he is finished. Same comments I was reading back in 2013/2014 after losing title and cup in madrid and finishind 3rd with Chelsea. And then boom... League cup and easily PL Champions
The fact that you have to go back to 2015 to show he's not finished should show you how finished he is.
@@drunkenhobo8020 No, that shows that you are saying the same things and every time proved wrong.
The way you can tell that no one actually thinks the confrence league is a valuable trophy for a club like Roma is that people keep calling it "a european trophy" instead of confrence league.
When a team wins the europa league you refer to it as the europa league, if people win the champions league you refer to it as the champions league. If people have won both then you say european trophies.
I can't wait for a few years when mid table teams keep winning it so people will finally stop talking about the confrence league like it's some massive trophy for a club like Roma
Typical Mourinho sacking in the third season
Man just needs Andre Villa Boas as his chief scout and asistant again. They were the duo of winners. Peter Taylor of Brian Clough. Always needs a reasonable bro to keep a ego in check and focus on what matters. He is sadly isolated and would do wonders with finding the right bro.
Mourinho should be given a chance at Bayern .
He would do so well in a team that is not in crisis.
Roma really said “Leave them before they leave you.” 😂😂😭
Just like Tottenham, who are a similar team showing promise but usually on the fringes of the top 4, the move was to sack him before the upswing...Tottenham knew they couldn't sack a manager who had just won the league cup, so sacked him a week before the final...Roma knew there was a good chance late January/February would be kind to Mourinho and it would be very hard to sack him if Roma were sitting in 4th, where they now almost are....people can talk about how much Mourinho spent, but he was building from a low base and it takes years of that kind of investment to make a champions league team...for those who say Jose was a hard headed realist, this was a romantic project a whisker from fruition...once there was a dream that was Roma.
I’d like to see pep manage Roma and see how he does with this budget for 2 and half years
The problem with him is he is so unlikeable and toxic that as soon as he doesn’t bring success it is very easy to get rid of him because he can offer nothing else other than success. Doesn’t play nice football, doesn’t promote youth and blames everyone other himself. So if he isn’t bringing instant success he has no leg to stand on
Keep regurgitating the media talking point
I'd love to see him managing Napoli as an Inter fan i wish nothing but the best.
Mourinho and Conte tend to make problems at their clubs after two or three seasons. Maybe they were after the contract severance money?
