AS Roma parted ways with manager Jose Mourinho on Tuesday. The move comes after a series of disappointing results, including a 3-1 loss to AC Milan over the weekend.

Seria A side swiftly replaced Mourinho, installing club legend Daniele De Rossi as the new manager until the remainder of the 2023-24 season.

Mourinho leaves Roma after spending two and a half seasons in Italy’s capital. During that time, he won the UEFA Europa Conference League, bringing the club its first trophy in 11 years. However, a poor run in Seria A season, which saw Roma drop to 9th in the standings, proved to be too much to ignore for club’s owners 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, “Friedkins said in a statement. “We wish Jose and his assistants all the best in their future endeavors.”

AS Roma will now hope that De Rossi, who played 616 games with the club between 2001 and 2019, could help improve the squad’s form. This will be De Rossi’s second managerial job after a short stint with Seria C side SPAL. He managed 17 games with SPAL, going 3-6-8 before being fired in February 2023.

Real Madrid could turn to a familiar face to replace manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is expected to leave the club in the summer. According to Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportive, the La Liga powerhouse is strongly considering a reunion with Jose Mourinho.

Ancelotti has an agreement in place with the Brazilian Football Confederation and will take over the reins of Brazil’s national team once the 2023-24 club season wraps up. Real wants to have a new manager in place sooner than later and has reportedly considered several candidates for the position, including former players Raul and Xabi Alonso.

However, while Raul and Alonso are considered to have a bright future in coaching, the knock on them is that they are too inexperienced for Real. Mourinho, on the other hand, has a track record of being able to handle the pressure of managing a big club.

Mourinho spent three seasons during his first stint with Real. While his time at Santiago Bernabeu was controversial, he was still largely successful. Mourinho won three trophies with the club, including Real’s first La Liga title in four years in 2011-12.

Mourinho is currently the head coach of AS Roma. His contract with the Seria A side is set to expire at the end of the season, and reports from Italy indicate that he isn’t interested in extending it.

Roma manager Jose Mourinho stated that he would seek legal advice after he received a red card during his team’s shock 2-1 loss in the Serie A to relegation-threatened Cremonese on Tuesday. This was Cremonese’s first win of the season.

Mourinho was shown a red card by referee Marco Piccinini at the start of the second half for dissent, thus marking his third suspension of the season. According to Mourinho, his outburst was due to his treatment by the fourth official.

“For the first time in my career a referee has spoken to me in an unjustifiable way,” the Portuguese manager commented during the post-match news conference. “I’m not crazy. And to have the reaction I had is because something happened. I need to know now if I can do something from a legal point of view.”

The Roma boss believes that Piccinini’s decision to award him a red card was influenced by the fourth official. He also believes that the fourth official never divulged to the referee what he said to Mourinho which the Portuguese manager deemed to be inappropriate.

Cremonese now sits in 19th position on the Serie A standings, while Roma remains in contention for a Champions League spot next season, currently sitting in 5th place.

Former Chelsea and Manchester United center midfielder Nemanja Matic is expected to join Serie A side AS Roma on a free transfer, according to numerous reports. This deal would see him be reunited with manager Jose Mourinho, whom he worked with during his tenures at both Chelsea and Manchester United.

Having arrived in the Premier League in 2014, the 33-year-old player decided to part ways with Manchester United at the end of the 2021-22 season, allowing his contract to lapse. He is expected to sign a one-year deal with Roma.

Mourinho’s decision to bring Matic to the Serie A club comes as no surprise as the Portuguese manager has been looking to reunite with Matic after their days together at Chelsea and Manchester United. The pair won the 2014/15 Premier League and English League Cup double at Chelsea, after which Mourinho lifted the 2016/17 Europa League title at Manchester United – the last piece of silverware that the Red Devils have won to date.

Following news of his impending departure from Manchester United, Matic became a transfer target for numerous European clubs, frequently being linked with Juventus before transfer talks broke down. According to reports, a reunification with Jose Mourinho was the deciding factor in Matic’s move to Roma.

Jose Mourinho became the second manager in history to win five major European titles after leading his team AS Roma to the UEFA Conference League title on Wednesday night. The Portuguese manager, who follows in the footsteps of Giovanni Trapattoni, saw his team defeat Dutch side Feyenoord 1-0 in the final to become the inaugural winners of the newly-established continental competition.

In addition to lifting the 27th trophy of his managerial career, Mourinho has also contributed to a monumental moment in Roma’s history. This is the first trophy that Roma has won since the Coppa Italia in 2007/08, as well as the first ever European title in the club’s 94-year history.

“This remains in the history of Roma, but also mine. I was told only I, Sir Alex [Ferguson] and Giovanni Trapattoni won trophies in three different decades. It makes me feel a little old, but it’s nice for my career,” the 52-year-old humorously remarked.

Prior to lifting the Conference League trophy with Roma, Mourinho won the 2002–03 UEFA Cup and 2003–04 UEFA Champions League with Porto, as well as the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League with Inter Milan and the 2016-17 Europa League with Manchester United.

Tottenham managed to get a hard-fought 1-0 win over Everton on Monday night to keep their European competition dreams alive. Still, it was Jose Mourinho who made headlines and ended up stealing the show.

The win against Everton was Mourinho’s 200th win in the Premier League, something that only four other managers managed to do so far. It only took the 57-year-old Portuguese 326 games to reach the mark.

Mourinho won his first 140 Premier League games during his two stints with Chelsea and then added another 40 with Manchester United. He now has 10 wins with Tottenham.

Only Manchester United legend Alex Ferguson needed fewer games (322) than Mourinho to get to 200 wins. Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger needed 332 games, West Ham’s David Moyes reached the mark in 511 games, while ex-QPR boss Harry Redknapp got there after 536 matches.

“Not many managers work in three of the top football clubs in the country, and in the world,” said Mourinho. “I was lucky enough to work for three of the biggest clubs in the country. When you are at one of these big clubs, it’s easier to have these results.”

Mourinho will get a chance to get to 201 wins on Thursday when Tottenham meets Bournemouth. The London club is currently 8th on the standings with 48 points, trailing fifth-placed Manchester United six points.

Jose Mourinho’s tenure at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur got off to a bright start after the Spurs’ 2-3 win over West Ham United at Olympic Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Mourinho, who was hired by the club after the dismissal of long-time manager Mauricio Pochettino, broke a road winless streak for Spurs that dated back to January, winning three crucial points that allows them to get back into the race for Europe.

Despite the final score, Spurs completely controlled the game until very late. Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura each notched a goal just before halftime to put Tottenham up 2-0.

Their lead was extended just after the game got back underway, with Harry Kane scoring a header from a Serge Aurier cross, his 175th goal as a Tottenham Hotspur player.

West Ham got a goal back in the 73rd minute with a Michail Antonio strike, and they were able to draw within one as Angelo Ogbonna scored again in extra time just before the final whistle blew. However, the game was over at this point, with Spurs celebrating a confidence-boosting victory.

Mourinho’s next task is an important Champions League clash at home with Olympiakos on Tuesday. A Spurs win would guarantee them a place in the knockout stage of the competition.

After a disappointing start to the campaign, Tottenham Hotspur has decided to go in a totally different direction and shake up the club big time with a coaching change.

Spurs announced on Tuesday night that they had sacked manager Mauricio Pochettino. After more than five seasons in charge at the North London club and last year’s UEFA Champions League Final appearance, his run at the club has finally ended.

The team is currently underperforming massively in the Premier League, in 14th place with only 3 wins on the season.

Taking over for Pochettino will be one of the biggest and most controversial names in the sport: Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho, who was last manager at Manchester United before being fired last season, has signed a massive three-year contract with the team that is worth nearly $20 million per year.

Many were surprised by the choice for Mourinho to join Spurs considering his long history with Chelsea, one of the team’s main rivals. The Portuguese head man spent 2004-2007 and 2013-2015 with the Blues.

The three-time Premier League winner and two-time Champions League winner will now be tasked with righting Tottenham’s ship and leading the team towards contention after a tumultuous start to the campaign.

It is strange to see former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho out of a job for almost a year, especially since he is considered to be one of the best in the game. However, as it turns out, being unemployed is actually Mourinho’s choice.

According to Goal, Mourinho rejected a number of job offers in the past as he eyes a return to his former club Real Madrid. The La Liga giants’ current boss Zinedine Zidane is considered to be on the hot seat following a bad start of the season, and if Madrid decides to change things up, the Portuguese manager thinks he would have a good chance of landing the job.

Mourinho spent three years as Real Madrid’s manager (2010-2013) managing to win three trophies during his time in Spain including La Liga in 2011/12 season.

The sources close to the situation say that in recent months, Jose Mourinho received job offers from teams like Lille, Wolfsburg, Schalke, Monaco, and AC Milan but rejected these opportunities. The clubs that Mourinho was ready to consider were reportedly Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Bayern Munich, but neither of them was interested in his services.

Since being sacked by Man Utd in December, Mourinho has been working as an analyst for several media outlets including Bein Sports and Sky Sports.

Jose Mourinho is arguably the best available manager on the market, and somehow he is still unemployed. That, however, might have to do with the fact that Mourinho is considering to move from club football in favor of taking a national team.

Mourinho recently had a chat with Eleven Sports in which he said that he is looking for new challenges and that he would like to compete at the World Cup and the European Championships.

“I want to compete in new competitions” – said Mourinho. “I think about the World Cup and the European Championships. For a long time I have had the desire to try out such an adventure. Right now, I see myself more at a national team than with a new club.”

While the first team that comes to mind is Portugal, Mourinho isn’t convinced that his native country would be a good choice.

“Is Portugal the right team for me? Not necessarily.” – he added.

Jose Mourinho is out of work since being sacked by Manchester United back in December. Over the course of his career, Mourinho also coached Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid among other teams, winning national competitions with each of them. He also won the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea and Inter.

“Not many managers work in three of the top football clubs in the country, and in the world,” said Mourinho. “I was lucky enough to work for three of the biggest clubs in the country. When you are at one of these big clubs, it’s easier to have these results.”

Mourinho will get a chance to get to 201 wins on Thursday when Tottenham meets Bournemouth. The London club is currently 8th on the standings with 48 points, trailing fifth-placed Manchester United six points.

Jose Mourinho’s tenure at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur got off to a bright start after the Spurs’ 2-3 win over West Ham United at Olympic Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Mourinho, who was hired by the club after the dismissal of long-time manager Mauricio Pochettino, broke a road winless streak for Spurs that dated back to January, winning three crucial points that allows them to get back into the race for Europe.

Despite the final score, Spurs completely controlled the game until very late. Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura each notched a goal just before halftime to put Tottenham up 2-0.

Their lead was extended just after the game got back underway, with Harry Kane scoring a header from a Serge Aurier cross, his 175th goal as a Tottenham Hotspur player.

West Ham got a goal back in the 73rd minute with a Michail Antonio strike, and they were able to draw within one as Angelo Ogbonna scored again in extra time just before the final whistle blew. However, the game was over at this point, with Spurs celebrating a confidence-boosting victory.

Mourinho’s next task is an important Champions League clash at home with Olympiakos on Tuesday. A Spurs win would guarantee them a place in the knockout stage of the competition.

After a disappointing start to the campaign, Tottenham Hotspur has decided to go in a totally different direction and shake up the club big time with a coaching change.

Spurs announced on Tuesday night that they had sacked manager Mauricio Pochettino. After more than five seasons in charge at the North London club and last year’s UEFA Champions League Final appearance, his run at the club has finally ended.

The team is currently underperforming massively in the Premier League, in 14th place with only 3 wins on the season.

Taking over for Pochettino will be one of the biggest and most controversial names in the sport: Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho, who was last manager at Manchester United before being fired last season, has signed a massive three-year contract with the team that is worth nearly $20 million per year.

Many were surprised by the choice for Mourinho to join Spurs considering his long history with Chelsea, one of the team’s main rivals. The Portuguese head man spent 2004-2007 and 2013-2015 with the Blues.

The three-time Premier League winner and two-time Champions League winner will now be tasked with righting Tottenham’s ship and leading the team towards contention after a tumultuous start to the campaign.

It is strange to see former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho out of a job for almost a year, especially since he is considered to be one of the best in the game. However, as it turns out, being unemployed is actually Mourinho’s choice.

According to Goal, Mourinho rejected a number of job offers in the past as he eyes a return to his former club Real Madrid. The La Liga giants’ current boss Zinedine Zidane is considered to be on the hot seat following a bad start of the season, and if Madrid decides to change things up, the Portuguese manager thinks he would have a good chance of landing the job.

Mourinho spent three years as Real Madrid’s manager (2010-2013) managing to win three trophies during his time in Spain including La Liga in 2011/12 season.

The sources close to the situation say that in recent months, Jose Mourinho received job offers from teams like Lille, Wolfsburg, Schalke, Monaco, and AC Milan but rejected these opportunities. The clubs that Mourinho was ready to consider were reportedly Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Bayern Munich, but neither of them was interested in his services.

Since being sacked by Man Utd in December, Mourinho has been working as an analyst for several media outlets including Bein Sports and Sky Sports.

Jose Mourinho is arguably the best available manager on the market, and somehow he is still unemployed. That, however, might have to do with the fact that Mourinho is considering to move from club football in favor of taking a national team.

Mourinho recently had a chat with Eleven Sports in which he said that he is looking for new challenges and that he would like to compete at the World Cup and the European Championships.

“I want to compete in new competitions” – said Mourinho. “I think about the World Cup and the European Championships. For a long time I have had the desire to try out such an adventure. Right now, I see myself more at a national team than with a new club.”

While the first team that comes to mind is Portugal, Mourinho isn’t convinced that his native country would be a good choice.

“Is Portugal the right team for me? Not necessarily.” – he added.

Jose Mourinho is out of work since being sacked by Manchester United back in December. Over the course of his career, Mourinho also coached Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid among other teams, winning national competitions with each of them. He also won the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea and Inter.
