Two years after his arrival on the AS Roma bench, José Mourinho is in difficulty. A poor performance on Saturday in Cagliari could cause his downfall.

The start of the season is complicated for José Mourinho. The Roma coach is struggling to find the formula to finally launch his team. Result: after seven days of Serie A, Romelu Lukaku’s partners are stuck in the second half of the table and occupy a sad thirteenth place, more than ten points behind the leader, Inter Milan. Enough to push the management of the Roman club to put pressure on their coach. Saturday against Cagliari, he would be inspired to win. Or at least not to lose.

The future of José Mourinho would therefore be linked to the performance of his team this weekend. This is what he thinks he knows Corriere dello Sport who clarified that a poor performance against the red lantern of Serie A would probably mean a divorce between the two parties. Since joining the club in the Italian capital, José Mourinho has made his mark in history by winning the first edition of the Europa Conference League in 2022.

Win to breathe

But last season, he failed in the race for qualifying places for the Champions League. There still remains some reason for hope for the Lusitanian tactician since AS Rome remains on a large victory validated Thursday against Servette de Genève (4-0), in the group stage of the Europa League. Why not, we should repeat such a performance against Cagliari, so that José Mourinho can breathe more easily.
