AS Roma fired Jose Mourinho today. The career of the 60-year-old coaching legend is on the decline.
AS Roma, which plays in the Italian Serie A, fired the head coach For Jose Mourinho. Roma is ninth in the league and lost to local rival Lazio in the Italian Cup.
The career of Mourinho, who is one of the most famous football coaches in the world, is strongly on the decline. In his amazing coaching career, Mourinho has won the Champions League twice, the Europa League once, the Conference League once, the English Premier League three times, the Italian championship twice and the Spanish championship once. However, in recent years, the big titles have gone around the Portuguese.
Mourinho’s head coaching career began in 2000 at Benfica, but he rose to great success at Porto, where he won two Portuguese championships, but the real bomb was winning the Champions League in the spring of 2004.
After that, Mourinho moved to Chelsea, where the result was also convincing. Chelsea won the Premier League under Mourinho in the 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons.
Mourinho left Chelsea in the fall of 2007. The next address was Inter Milan, where he started in the summer of 2008. There, too, the pace was fast: winning the Italian Serie A in the spring of 2009 and 2010. In the latter season, there was a treble, when Inter also won the Italian Cup and the Champions League.
After this, Mourinho moved to Real Madrid. During three seasons there, one Spanish championship and one Spanish cup entered the trophy case.
In 2013, Mourinho returned to Chelsea’s bench. There was another Premier League victory in the spring of 2015. The 2015–16 season got off to a miserable start and in December the contract was terminated by “mutual decision”.
Mourinho moved to Manchester United, where he won the Europa League in the first season, but again after a difficult first season, Mourinho was fired in December 2018. The next address was Tottenham, where there was no greater success and as a result he was fired in the spring of 2021.
The next address was then Roma, where the head coach lasted two and a half years. In the first season, Roma won the Conference League and finished sixth in Serie A. In the 2022–23 season, Roma lost the Europa League final and was sixth in Serie A again.
Roma will become head coach after Mourinho Daniel De Rossi. During his playing career, he won the world championship in 2006 and was the captain of AS Roma. De Rossi coached Spali in Serie B last season, but the stint lasted four months due to poor success.
