Kicked out by AS Roma this Tuesday, José Mourinho had difficulty masking his emotion when saying goodbye to the supporters.
When his arrival was announced on May 4, 2021, José Mourinho raised high hopes for AS Roma. A few months later, La Louve supporters saw their expectations rewarded with winning the title in the 2022 Europa Conference League. Unfortunately for the Romans, the level of play of their team then gradually deteriorated and a year and a half later, weaned from good results, the leaders of Giallorossi resigned themselves to showing the Portuguese the exit door. At the time of departure, the latter was misty-eyed.
A video captured by one of the supporters present when José Mourinho left by car was quickly posted online on social networks. While fans thank him for his work, the former coach of Chelsea and FC Porto opens his window and in turn thanks them. But his eyes are clearly red, a sign of his sadness at having to leave AS Roma.

From Rossi at the helm
An electric shock nevertheless seemed necessary for the capital club, currently ninth in the Serie A standings, four points behind its neighbor Lazio, sixth and currently occupying the last European place. In the championship, the Romans remain in three matches in a row without success (two defeats and a draw). Appointed immediately, the former player and club figure, Daniele De Rossi, will try to redress the situation.
