José Mourinho’s situation does not leave the world of football indifferent.
The information had the effect of a small bombshell this week: José Mourinho was dismissed from his duties as coach of AS Roma. The Special One has lost its luster, but he still managed to lead Roma to the first European title in its history with a victory in the Europa Conference League a year and a half ago.
For Jorge Mendes, agent and close friend of the Portuguese, the decision of the Italian club is very difficult to grasp. “ I was surprised by this decision. I did not expect that. With him, Roma once again won a European competition (the Europa Conference League in 2022, editor’s note) after I don’t know how many years. It’s a winner“.
“He was convinced he would succeed”
“ He was ninth, but how many points behind fourth? Five, continued the very influential agent in a long interview given this Friday to the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. And there were 18 days of championship left. Instead, he was fired. He wanted to continue and was convinced that he would succeed even if the situation was not easy“, concluded Mendes.
As a reminder, José Mourinho was replaced on the Giallorossi bench by a legend of the Roman club, former midfielder Daniele De Rossi.
