While he is under contract with AS Roma until next June, José Mourinho is reportedly considering leaving the Serie A club.
Arriving in 2021 at AS Roma, José Mourinho is still in place and should complete his contract which binds him to the Roman club until June 2024. But what will happen after? For the moment, the Portuguese coach is weighing the pros and cons. Winner of the Europa Conference League in 2022 before reaching the final of the Europa League the following year, Mourinho is today somewhat criticized due to the disappointing results of the Giallorossi. Enough to make him hesitate to extend, if indeed his management offers it to him.
The information was disclosed on Sunday by Foot Mercato. According to the specialist media, José Mourinho is all the more hesitant to stay in Rome since the departure of sporting director, Tiago Pinto, has been made official. The latter will therefore leave Roma after having been at the origin of the arrival of the “Special One”. Several potential replacements have already been selected and listed by club boss Dan Friedkin. The names of Gian Piero Gasperini, Ivan Juric and Raffaele Palladino would come out in a good position, explained FM.
To Saudi Arabia?
For his part, José Mourinho would rather be interested in a new challenge. The media raised the possibility of seeing the Lusitanian tactician leave for Saudi Arabia. The option of supporting a national selection is also a possibility.
