Mourinho to leave Roma at the end of the season

Victories over Cagliari (4:1) and Frosinone (2:0) woke up Roma players, and ahead of the international break, they were in 10th place in Serie A. Certainly, this place is far below expectations before the start of the season, in which the fans and the owners are expecting the Champions League place. The Romans were shy during the summer transfer window due to their financial situation but still used the free agent and loan markets to get some excellent players like Lukaku, Renato Sanchez, Ndicka, Aouar and Leandro Paredes. It seemed that Roma could get involved in the fight for the top of the table; however, totally opposite happened. Some were saying that it’s only a regular ‘third season curse’ for Mourinho, when his teams totally underachieve, but whatever the reasons, it seems that the Conference League title and Europa League final from last season were not enough for the club’s executives. 

According to the information of the famous Gianluca Di Marzio, Mourinho and Roma will definitely part ways at the end of the season since they have not been conducted, nor are there any plans to negotiate a new contract.

“There are no negotiations ongoing, there have never been. So they’ll part company at the end of the deal in June. Surely, once Mourinho will be free, the Saudi clubs will try again. It remains to be seen what Mourinho thinks about his future. Whether he wants to coach a new European club or go there to Saudi Arabia", said Di Marzio.

Lukaku: 'A lot of bull**it has been published about me'

But in case a new report is right, there will be no dilemma. According to this report, a mystery Pro League side is ready to offer him a staggering two-year 104 million pounds contract, which would be hard to refuse, especially since the Portuguese tactician already said he will work in Saudi Arabia one day.

Italian papers already found replacement for Mourinho

Given that the three-year collaboration with Mourinho is coming to an end, the list of potential successors is slowly starting to form, with the name of Antonio Conte leading the way, since the Italian admitted yesterday that he would like to coach Napoli or Roma.

"Those are two clubs that I’d like to try for the passion fans have. I hope one day I’ll have a chance to live this experience. I don’t take jobs during the season because there are situations that have been created before I arrived" said Conte recently.
