📗 Tifo’s new book, «How to Watch Football» is now available internationally:
Jose Mourinho has been enormously popular at Roma. His Serie A form had been less than ideal, but he had brought the club a European trophy. Yet his sacking in January 2024, amongst Roma fans came as a surprise.
To the outside world, a Mourinho sacking is part of the Portuguese’s legacy. But that wasn’t expected to happen at Roma.
How had he formed such a bond? And why was he dismissed in the end?
Written by James Horncastle. Illustrated by Marco Bevilacqua.

He is loved and sacked and cries and then gets new jobs. Its apart of the mourinho effect he will be back 3 years max. Then, he be crying his out again
So toxic. Was delighted when United finally sacked him
what are you guys actually talking about? their investment has failed to produce a title challenge? what investment? not one of the last 5 years even before jose has roma had a top 4 squad in italy. youre as delusional as the owners. you lost to AC milan not because of jose you lost becaust youre supposed o lose. they ahve sold more than bought the last 2 years while with jose. football is a business its a very simple business. madrid wins because madrid spends, madrid doesnt win because they dont have jose mourinho. this is filler content DO BETTER
Mourinho has a clause in his contract that says " he must be fired before his contract is up " – so far he's collected 80 million pounds in severance pay from Chelsea x 2, Man U, Tottenham, Real Madrid, etc and needs to keep his record intact to be known as " the $$$pecial One ".
They signed bad players
José ❤
Friedkin out
Jose mourinho ❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️
They are 1 point away from 4th. The league is pretty competitive with 10th place Genoa being 7 points away from 5th Roma
As a Roma fan… That missed handball penalty in the UEL final was the cause. Qualifying for the UCL would have given Roma a needed boost to the budget and attracted players during the summer, I really liked Mou and will always be glad for bringing that first European trophy in 2022 (ending a painful 14 year drought of any trophy). This is the first time I hear about how the gvt ended the tax break on coaches and players and now it all makes sense.
Only one who lost is Roma good luck recruiting good players with a broke bank now, people joined because of him take Dybala for example and Romelu
Let’s not forget the utter robbery that occurred in that Europa League final.
Americans have ruined SERIE A
Are the people at TIFO really so dumb that they cannot do a bit more research to know the distance between 9th and 4th place was 5 points?
Come back to Manchester United!
I’d like to see pep manage Roma and see how he does with this budget for 2 and half years
His sack is a conspiracy by the owners
Most racist country in The world its hard to work in Italy as a foreigner
Because he becomes a loser. Always moaning like a cow 🐄
God is working on my story Amen✝️⛪🕊️👼🙏😇🙏
José lately comes to clubs when they are in trouble. He fixes some. They resurface and he's the scapegoat. Just like Ancelotti before going to Madrid.
Jose is a 2 yr coach. Always looking for an early dismissal and free holiday at his' clubs expense. I can see him back at Chelsea.
Jose should really consider rangers or celtics. He knows how to work with physical British style players and he's management and tactics are ideal for those teams. Being the biggest team in Scotland, it also allows him to concentrate more on the champions league.
Roma going down drastically
People just forget that Mourinho won the Europa League with United…
The thing about Jose that some people don't understand is that despite his shortcomings he did something for many clubs that can't be described by trophies. This is why many fans will stick by him.
The Real Madrid of the 5 champions leagues doesn't exist without Jose coming in and recovering the winner mentality that the club had lost.
It's incredible how as soon as you say "American owners" it all makes a bit more sense
Mourinho's coaching is just out of style and not effective anymore.
delusional roma fans. mourinho is outdated, he creates a bad environment within a club, underperforms and destroys clubs from the inside
For me he has been the best manager so far and for that reason I kinda want him to be the manager for my team Barcelona
Bro Roma owners they don't know eny thing about football instead of buying new good quality playes they fired mourinho…! He only manager after alot of the years win tittle for Roma
I think Roma owner like Manchester united owres they have no idea what is mean football
First thing first you must buy star players alywes alywes and alywes non stop for club like Roma…
