AS Roma has fired its head coach, Jose Mourinho, following a poor run of form; the Giallorossi have won just one of their last six Serie A games and sit ninth in the league.

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

Further, he guided the team to the Europa League final last season, where Sevilla defeated them on penalties.

 "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,” read the club statement.

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

"We wish Jose and his assistants all the best in their future endeavours."
