Notably, the sacking of Jose Mourinho at AS Roma happened on Tuesday, January 16, following a string of bad results that saw them exit from the Coppa Italia against their city rivals Lazio after a defeat by 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The final match for the 60-year-old while managing AS Roma happened at the San Siro where AC Milan defeated them by 3-1 in Serie A.
During his illustrious run with AS Roma, which began in the 2021-22 season, Jose Mourinho brought European silverware to the Italian club, breaking their long-standing trophy drought. AS Roma defeated Feyenoord by 1-0 in the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
In the next season, he took the Italian club to the UEFA Europa League final in the 2022-23 season, which they lost to Sevilla on penalties by 4-2 after extra time scoreline read 1-1. But after a difficult start to the ongoing 2023-24 season, both on and off the pitch, AS Roma sacked Jose Mourinho, and replaced him with Daniele De Rossi.
