AS Roma has sacked Jose Mourinho as coach of the team after more than two years of handling the Italian side.

The club in a statement on its website on Tuesday said it could confirm that Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff would leave the club with immediate effect.

Mourinho was unveiled as the Giallorossi’s 60th coach in May 2021.

He led the team to win the Conference League in Tirana on May 25th, 2022, and to the Europa League final in Budapest last season.

“We would like to thank José on behalf of all of us at AS Roma for his passion and efforts since his arrival at the club,” said Dan and Ryan Friedkin.

“We will always have great memories of his tenure at Roma, but we believe that an immediate change is in the best interests of the club.

“We wish José and his assistants all the best in their future endeavours,” he said.
