Winning the first european trophy for Roma is impressive, but if we consider the funds spent in his time including wages offered to the players Mourinho vetoed; it can be considered a failure at Roma, inability to get top 4 places in the serie a and finishing 6th for consecutive season had its toll; the repeated player power struggle meant it was time for Jose to go

A top manager; a top coach; hopefully he finds a better adventure soon

It's understandable to evaluate Jose Mourinho's tenure at Roma based on financial considerations and league performance. But Mourinho's success in securing Roma's first European trophy is a significant achievement. Winning a continental competition is a testament to the team's capabilities and Mourinho's managerial prowess. This success should not be understated, because it adds historical value to the club's achievements.

Mourinho may have faced budget constraints, and the ability to secure a European trophy amid such challenges is a testament to his managerial skills and ability to maximize resources. The struggle to secure top-four finishes cannot be solely attributed to Mourinho's management. The league's competitiveness makes consistently achieving high positions a formidable challenge for any team. Mourinho may have faced challenges in managing player dynamics. While finishing 6th in consecutive seasons might be seen as a setback, Consistent performance in a competitive league requires a comprehensive analysis beyond the final league position. Building a team and implementing a managerial vision often takes time. Abrupt changes may hinder the development of a cohesive squad capable of consistent top-level performance.

Mourinho was really successful with Roma when it comes to European tournaments such as the Conference League and Europa League. But he was just not able to do a good job in the Serie A since he took over. Of course having a limited budget to make transfers can also be shown as a reason for that. But it isn't the only reason for that as well. 

So true, it was very disappointed to see that the management out of respect for mourinho. He gave everything for the team and he got no budget to buy a good player and he was not complaining about that caused life must go one. There will be no coach who will able to do the same like him.
That's why roma was always performing so poorly when it comes to the winning a trophy. it's caused by the club has very weak mentality at this moment. jose was slowly but surely trying to solve it but it was failed caused by the management has a non sense target with poor club like that.

I think Roma's current squad are still capable of fighting for top 4 and even finishing in this area. But they have always struggled with consistency problems. This season has been even worse for Roma in the Serie A so far. Let's see what Daniele De Rossi will do.

It's not capable anymore after jose has left from the club. The new coach will have different vision compared to the jose mourinho and this is the main problem owned by the club. Im concerning about the decision making from the management of club to sack him.
It can be considered as the worst decision to sack someone who was delivering a lot for the club. In fact, this is also greatly affecting the performance of team too. Im sure that the team has not yet ready to lost him.

Another stupid mistake being made by the management of club. people can put respect toward it anymore. Let roma out from europa league soon. Feyenoord needs to destroy it.

The financial constraints have probably played a big role in the overall decline of Roma's lack of accomplishments in the last few months. Every time they got a little bit closer to a strong level, the decline in their performance was literally inbound and I think these little setbacks every single time made everyone tired and Mourinho's words weren't of the same impact anymore.

For everyone involved I believe getting in a new coach is the right decision and perhaps it is still the right time to do it. Half of the season has been played and there is still something to be done about their final position. If they waited 10 more weeks or something, then all hope would probably be lost by then. Rather give it a shot now.

I have heard news such as PSG have made a new contract offer to Kylian Mbappe. It is said to be worth around 100 million euros a year.  

This is a really attracting sum of money for sure. But money isn't problem for other rich teams as well. So Real Madrid can easily offer the same conditions to Mbappe as well. Maybe they already have who knows.    But I expect Mbappe to make his decision at the end of the season. Staying at PSG is also an option maybe but I hope he doesn't prefer that option. I don't believe it is good for his future at all.  

What happened to Mbappe to Liverpool rumors? I knew it would be a bust because of a number of reasons. PSG has chosen to throw more money at their problems instead of eliminating the problem once and for all. Mbappe needs to win the UCL trophy to add to his name and this current PSG team won't cut it one bit.

What PSG needs is to bring in other talented players to complement and support Mbappe so they can win the UCL. If PSG doesn't win the UCL this year, I doubt if they'd be able to keep Mbappe for another season.

While Messi is the GOAT, he can't bring the tremble alone to the team. I think they signed Messi for marketing purposes and not to benefit the team because their playstyle was different and didn't change even after the Messi's transfer. Messi has only played in FC Barcelona and Argentina. In both teams, Messi has been the main player and the whole team was built around him. When Messi moved in PSG, the whole team was built around Mbappe, their strategy was to shoot the ball in front, Mbappe will run and score. Simultaneously, it's really true that Messi wasn't trying his best for PSG because he prioritized Argentina's national team to win trebles with them, including Copa America and World Cup. It was clear how powerful Messi was during Argentina's matches compared to PSG but I think Messi is not to be blamed here that much because the coach and midfield was the problem here, not Messi actually, he was still performing well but I think he was preserving himself from injuries and wasn't as aggressive/motivated as before.

Messi alone cannot do everyone to win games, elevating his team to the top and remaining there. It’s just not possible no matter how good the player is. One individual cannot do it all.
I think they signed Messi for various reasons, publicity and marketing reasons amongst others. But I think his influence is still felt in the team although not as much as he or his supporters would have desired.

The gameplay at PSG was majorly centered around Mbappe so I don’t think his absence would be really missed. I think there has always been some sort of expectations(sometimes unrealistic) from Messi to either score a goal or create chances for one.

Returning to Chelsea ain't no wise decision besides he doesn't work with young players like the present players in Chelsea, they're not well made an it'll take one two seasons before they finally adapt.
Chelsea like Manchester United are currently in need of some quick success bit that don't mean they'll entertain a coach like Jose Mourinho back, believe mez he's tactics are outdated and poor lately they can't win the league with these current Chelsea squad and.

Yes, but regardless Mourinho will be suitable for the Chelsea's team at the moment and possibly put Chelsea back into fighting for the top 4 position than having Pochettino still managing the club, at least Chelsea won't be experience all this humiliation losses they've got under Pochettino all this while. Imagine Chelsea still not qualify for Champions League next season having them end the season like this, it will definitely reduce the interest of big players to the club.

Previously Mourinho has been twice to train Chelsea on season 2004 and season 2013 and last time he train this team Chelsea was unable to performing well under him so it make Chelsea have to sacked him so i don't think Mourinho will return to Chelsea for the third time especially Chelsea condition is not really good currently however indeed after Roma sacked him then people will starting to speculate which team will being an his destination but indeed when he still train Roma some of Saudi Arabian clubs were showing their interest to him even they offering high salary if Mourinho willing to moved to Saudi Arabian so probably Mourinho will considering the offers from them

Besides that Mourinho probably want to find new challenge and Saudi Pro League is the right place for him but if he want to stayed and train european teams then he was linked to several teams just like Newcastle and after gets poor results this season then there is a rumour Newcastle want to sacked Eddie Howe and Mourinho name was appears as the replacement of Eddie Howe and probably if Mourinho moved to this team he can bringing Newcastle to performing well again

I only found out today that Mourinho was sacked. In the news I read, he even left the training ground in tears. Indeed, Mourinho did not have many achievements with Roma, he only gave 1 UEFA Conference League trophy and managed to take Roma to the European Cup Final. There is news if Man United wants him, but he also does not have a big achievement with Man United. Maybe this time Mourinho is no longer a coach with the nickname The Specialist One but The Sacked One because he is fired more often than giving trophies to the club.

I also have read the news, AS Roma officially fired him. Yes, he only got 1 title when he managed AS Roma, he only won the trophy of UEFA Conference League. However, he made a history for AS Roma, AS Roma becomes the first team to win the trophy of UEFA Conference League. He also leads AS Roma to the final of European League. This should be appreciated, not every coach can do this. AS Roma already finished the season with no trophy for a long time before Mourinho became the manager.

No, he mustn't return to Man United. It is not a friendly team for him, he must prefer to choose another team. I guess he may go to Serie A or he comes back to his country. Or he can decide to be the manager of one of the teams in SPL.

Chelsea like Manchester United are currently in need of some quick success bit that don't mean they'll entertain a coach like Jose Mourinho back, believe mez he's tactics are outdated and poor lately they can't win the league with these current Chelsea squad and.

Winning the league currently, their chances are very slim and I don't think that would be possible. I would really keen on watching José Mourinho becomes one of the influential part of the Blues that would complete the equilibrium balance between the coach and the team's performance. José Mourinho relieved of his duties and there's no way he's coming back to Stamford Bridge because the current coach, Mauricio Pochettino is trying his best to enchanced the team and no doubt about Todd Boehly dismissing the coach presently.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

Now Daniele De Rossi is temporary coach to replace Jose Mourinho and this contract lasts for half season, Daniele De Rossi is also former AS Roma legend player so this might make his job easier in building AS Roma until this season ends.
It is not yet clear who will be the actual coach for AS Roma next season but what is clear is that Daniele De Rossi does not have much experience in coaching and if he makes him the permanent coach by extending his contract then it would be premature decision.
AS Roma must be able to get coach who can really build better team because they have failed to take advantage of several opportunities in the fight for the title.

This is a temporary solution for Roma when suddenly fired Morinho. Everything is still ahead and Roma management chose him not because of his expertise but because of Rossi's enthusiasm and affection for Roma. Considering Rossi's coaching experience, it is quite modest as he was only a member of the Italian coaching staff that won Euro 2020 and De Rossi's first coaching job ended with his dismissal in February. 2023 after four months working at SPAL. But Rossi is the person who understands Roma and the culture of this team the best. I believe he will have certain results when temporarily leading Roma in the near future.

Regarding Mourinho, it is better not to do anything for now, Roma is clear evidence, plus this club is no longer interested in showing competition. The point is that Mourinho cannot interfere in ongoing club affairs, Chelsea itself with its current composition of players has nothing to be proud of even though it has spent a large budget.

Surely Mourinho will never return to Chelsea or MU. Mourinho's personality shows that he will find a new destination to rebuild his empire. Up to now, the curse of three successful seasons with one team seems to still be coming true for Mourinho. Arabia could be his next stop

Actually Barcelona financial is not enough good for signing Kalvin Philip from Manchester City, have to spent around 30 million euro until 50 million euro for signing England holding midfielder. Currently the teams interested for signing Kalvin Philip not only Barcelona but also have Premier League teams with good financial and not get problem for transfer fees around 50 million euro to get Kalvin Philip's sign such as Newcastle United and West Ham United.

I don't think with seriously rumor Barcelona want to sign Kalvin Philip because they have many players in midfielder position, Frenkie De Jong, Gundogan, Pedri and Oriol Romeu seems enough midfielder having right now and Barcelona just need with new defender and striker right now after conceded many goals in last several matches before.

There is no truth in this news because we have already updated about Barcelona about their January plans they are not going to have any buying with their finances are going the worst day by day, and they can't afford anything new with this all so most of the time we have rumours about few players, but these are just for the media and intention of having more followers there is nothing officially coming about Barcelona going to have anything even now we have rumours Xavi is going to have challenging time because if he fails to deliver anything in this season then most chances his job is going to be under threat which could be surely worst for the club as well because they are having the best person at his job and losing him can bring more troubles for them in coming weeks.

Surprise!Surprise! It has been reported that Arsenal is in talks with benzema to potentially loan him from al ittihad, and it's exciting to see that there is a possibility of him joining the English Premier League this season. I would like to see him join in the chelsea but it seems like that arsenal is one step ahead compared to the chelsea.
Don't take it seriously caused by benzema join in a club that has never won UCL. It was shocking me that i never expect that if arsenal would be interesting to sign him as a new player. I was hoeping that benzema to stay but it seems like that he will be interesting to play in the premier league.

Benzema was a one tap specialist and he may be useful for arsenal. This guy has a very good positioning and i think that he will be join in premier league. Im waiting for the further news regarding this.
He may be deciding his final decision very soon. There's no need to feel doubt about that. Bnzema was a good striker even though he was old. Arsenal can at least has more option on its strikers.

Nketiah and gabriel are still performing so badly. Benzema would become a short term solution for the club.

Wait, not everything has to be  thrown at Saudi Arabia guys. Mourinho still has little hope of continuing to compete in Europe and coincidentally he doesn't seem  to show much interest in currently managing a Saudi Arabia club unless there are no European clubs  interested in his services anymore. For the time being  Mourinho will have time to rest until he is truly able to recover from some of his  bad results with Roma. Because after Roma decided  to take Rossi it wasn't a big investment  in improving a club that was reluctant to spend big money. Rossi is just the cheapest option that Roma took to save  the budget.

Nketiah I will say is not fully matured and grown striker still learning. For Gabriel Jesus, I'd say that I'm disappointed. I see the reasons as to why Pep Guardiola finally let him and Raheem Sterling leave Manchester City for good.
These players cannot win Mikel Arteta and Arsenal the Premier League, they be poor at decision making and lacked scoring goals. They're not consistent in between.

A move for Karim Benzema was something Arsene Wenger tried to do years before, as he wanted to bring over his fellow french man but bid failed on different occasions.
The next six months would be great, at least Nketiah would have someone to look at and learn if possible. They'll be needing Karim Benzema and another Central Midfielder.

No, he mustn't return to Man United. It is not a friendly team for him, he must prefer to choose another team. I guess he may go to Serie A or he comes back to his country. Or he can decide to be the manager of one of the teams in SPL.

Yes, Roma officially fired Jose Mourinho and was replaced by Daniele De Rossi and in my opinion the decision taken by Roma was too hasty. Even though Roma did not achieve good results with Jose Mourinho this coach has given the European Conference League trophy and that is not something that it's easy for Roma, if Roma does fire him, they should wait until this season ends so that it doesn't affect the players' performance because they have to adapt to a new coach who may not be like Jose Mourinho.

So what if Jose Mourinho went to Manchester United? he has coached this club and achieved pretty good results and managed to win 3 trophies with Manchester United, while currently Manchester United is in an unstable condition because the coach, Erik Ten Hag, is not satisfactory. I think if Manchester United decides to appoint Jose Mourinho again, Manchester United can return to his best performance, at least he can be ranked in the top 5. Jose Mourinho is not interested in coaching a Saudi league club despite being offered a large salary.

Which the next club that Mourinho will join? Manchester United or Chelsea?

Now it's nearly more than two days Roma sacked Mourinho and have new coach Dee Rosie with immediate effect because they were not happy with the club performance into Serie A, so now things are taking change which is good hopefully they will achieve their target in coming weeks now what about Mourinho as he is having few good commitments in coming weeks.

But, where he wants to go it's not clear because media is saying Manchester United and Newcastle United both are interested but nothing is official with few reports are clearly saying he is looking for any job in Saudi League as this is also good for him but is he going to join this we have to wait for the official announcement about this all which will be announced soon.

Well maybe this is the right time for Jose Mourinho to take a break from the coaching chair and he can use this half season to be truly happy with his family, I also sure that after this season is finished Mourinho will get an offer.
But for European team, maybe only middle to lower teams because the big teams in all the leagues have great and trusted coaches.
I wondering whether Mourinho can replace Mazzarri because he is only a temporary coach for Napoli and indeed Napoli is in dire need of an experienced coach to be able to return them to better condition and have strong performance.
For Manchester United itself, it seems that they are no longer very interested in Mourinho even though there are plans to dismiss Ten Hag.
It just that the final choice I believe is Saudi Arabia, the SPL has many team that are in need of great coaches and it is possible that there are several team that are interested in using Mourinho services.

It's unbelievable Arteta want to sign an old player, he's one of manager who always like to sign a new player. Even though it looks good for both Benzema and Arsenal, but Benzema is taking risk. If Arsenal didn't make it, people will put the blame on Benzema since people are hoping him can able to become a goal scorer just like when he was in Real Madrid.

If that would be the case, then they should match up with the fee set up by Brentford and go sign Ivan Toney who have been away for roughly eight months due to ban.
If they feel like Karim Benzema can't get them whatever they want they should go all out on whatever and whoever that'll get them whatever they want.

They have to do all they can to win this Premier League, how can they be so bad, they'll be playing against Crystal Palace for the weekend, let's see who wins and how the strikers they have copes.
The way they played has suddenly seen them noisy fans grow silent finally.

Wait, not everything has to be  thrown at Saudi Arabia guys. Mourinho still has little hope of continuing to compete in Europe and coincidentally he doesn't seem  to show much interest in currently managing a Saudi Arabia club unless there are no European clubs  interested in his services anymore. For the time being  Mourinho will have time to rest until he is truly able to recover from some of his  bad results with Roma. Because after Roma decided  to take Rossi it wasn't a big investment  in improving a club that was reluctant to spend big money. Rossi is just the cheapest option that Roma took to save  the budget.

yep, Mourinho is still capable of becoming  coach in several other big european teams and IMO, if you say that unless there are no european teams that dont want to sign him, that won't be possible because as long as he not become coach in any team, other european team will definitely try to get mourinho as a coach because he has been recognized by many teams very reliable coach so it seems mourinho will never move to saudi arabia.
as I said before, if Mourinho only needs short break, there no need to be too hasty in getting a team to train because he is very old and needs lots of rest to reorganize new strategies that can be used on the team he will train later.

there are several candidate teams that can get Mourinho, but of these candidates, I actually prefer PSG to get Mourinho, but I'm not sure whether coach want to accept PSG offer.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Mourinho took Roma to consecutive European finals and won the club their first ever European title (The UEFA conference league), for a team like Roma, and with the budget and resources they have, i think that is success/achievement IMO. I know poor results this season is one of the major reasons why Mourinho was fired, but i think discipline is another one, his attitude in the dugout has left a lot to be desired and that's why he has picked up so many red cards, i am sure tha club have looked at all of this and said, you know what...it is time to cut ties with him. I wish Mou all the best for the future.

Winning the first european trophy for Roma is impressive, but if we consider the funds spent in his time including wages offered to the players Mourinho vetoed; it can be considered a failure at Roma, inability to get top 4 places in the serie a and finishing 6th for consecutive season had its toll; the repeated player power struggle meant it was time for Jose to go

Im only questioning about is there a coach that has ever reached the same like mourinho did in roma? How long this club being trophyless? it doesn't even make sense to see that. I meant that if roma was sacking mourinho caused by he was getting some losses in a row then roma must be also thankful for him caused by this club would be trophyless forever without him ever managed it. Mourinho is pretty good as a coach and he can at least give his team a trophy. It was the same like when he was in manchester united.
he has been getting the same situation like this.

A top manager; a top coach; hopefully he finds a better adventure soon

He may be going to the saudi pro league but we needs also to wait another rumor that link him to the a club. I would prefer newcastle to replace eddie howe with him. Mourinho will be very suitable in managing the rich club like newcastle.
He can build his dream team there. Mourinho can start to send an offer to the other club. Well, it's sad to see that roma has sacked one of best coach and this is not my first time to see that how mourinho was not getting trust from the club.
He needs to find a club that can trust the process like newcastle.
