Jose Mourinho did not accept his dismissal from Roma peacefully, newspaper reports Corriere dello Sport. North American Dan Friedkin, owner and president of the Italian club, informed the Portuguese coach of his decision on Tuesday morning, after a night of deliberation. A heated argument ensued and Jose Mourinho shouted obscenities in English.
The Italian press claims that the decision to sack the “Special One” began to gain momentum at the end of last season, after the defeat in the Europa League final. After the meeting, the Portuguese sharply criticized the refereeing, and the Roma president did not like this attitude.
Roma immediately made his departure official, and the coach responded a few hours later with a video on social media with a description of just 10 words: “Sweat, blood, tears, joy, sadness, love, brothers, history, heart and eternity.” .
The contract lasted until June, and Jose Mourinho retained the support of the fans, but the club’s owners were unhappy with the coach’s criticism of the referees and ninth place in the Italian Championship standings. The Portuguese’s place was taken by Daniele De Rossi, a former Roma footballer.
The fifth dismissal in a row in his career allowed Jose Mourinho to earn a total of 94 million euros in compensation.
