Football club AS Roma on Tuesday parted ways with their head coach Jose Mourinho following a poor team performance in the Coppa Italia, Skynews reported.

The club has only won one of the games in the last six Serie A matches. They’ve placed ninth in the league.

Mourinho’s contract was due to expire in June and this was his third season with the club.

He has previously coached Chelsea and Manchester United in England, Real Madrid in Spain, and Internazionale in Italy.

The Giallorossi were recently knocked out of the Coppa Italia by city rivals Lazio.

The 60-year-old joined Roma in 2021 and spent two-and-a-half years in the role, leading them to the Europa Conference League title in 2022.

He also guided them to the Europa League final last season, where they were defeated by Sevilla on penalties.

A statement released by the club read: “We would like to thank Jose on behalf of all of us at AS Roma for his passion and efforts since his arrival at the club. 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 Jose and his assistants all the best in their future endeavours.”
