Jose Mourinho to leave Roma at the end of the season

Poor Start for Mourinho

Jose Mourinho's tenure as manager of Roma is set to come to an end at the conclusion of the current season, according to reports. The 60-year-old, who has previously managed top clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham, has struggled to find success in his third season with the Italian side. Roma currently sits in 10th place in the Serie A table, with only three wins from their first eight games.

No Contract Extension

Mourinho's three-year contract with Roma is set to expire at the end of the campaign, and journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has stated that an extension is unlikely. Di Marzio revealed, "There are no negotiations ongoing, there have never been. So they'll part company at the end of the deal in June."

Possible Next Moves

With his time at Roma coming to an end, Mourinho has a few options for his next move. He has been linked with a potential move to another European club or even a switch to Saudi Arabia, which was a possibility during the summer. However, no concrete details have emerged regarding his future plans.

Conte Interested in Roma

As Roma begins its search for Mourinho's replacement, one name that has already emerged is Antonio Conte. The 54-year-old coach, who has had a long-standing rivalry with Mourinho, has expressed his interest in the club. Conte, who was previously sacked by Tottenham, has been waiting for the right opportunity and has declined moves to Saudi Arabia. He has mentioned Roma and Napoli as potential destinations, and even hinted at a return to Juventus, where he previously coached.

It remains to be seen who will take over the reins at Roma once Mourinho departs, but Antonio Conte seems to be a strong contender for the job.
