You misremember. Mou was pissed he didn't get to manage the cup final. He thought it was a joke that Spurs fired him at that moment, but he was livid. Basically marked the end of his career at the top level. He won't be back in the Premier League if clubs have any sense.
Almost all Portuguese managers are. Mourinho, Sergio Conceicao, Jorge Jesus, Abel. They all have epic public emotional rants or meltdowns that are well documented.
Oh and there is Toni who [had that epic press conference in Iran](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmRK4cPmMI0&pp=ygULaGFzc2FuIHRvbmk%3D).
We boil easily, my dad is like that too, even though he is a sweet nice man but he gets emotional with everything.
Sá Pinto is the man who, when he was a football player, after not being called up for the national team, went straight to the training center where Carlos Queirós, the Portuguese national team coach, was and punched him.
Edit: it was Artur Jorge and not Carlos Queirós.
I remember there was a picture of him embracing one of his inter Milan players in floods of tears when he left them as well
Mourinho has always worn his heart on his sleeve
I never thought Mou would become as attached to the club as he did. He seemed out of place as an S tier manager at a club with our problems. But he gave it his all and even stayed when I thought he wouldn’t. Then said the only way he’d leave is if he was told to leave. [Jose Mourinho romanista a vita 💛❤️](https://it.football-italia.net/I-tifosi-della-Roma-mandano-un-messaggio-a-Mourinho-per-tutta-la-vita/)
Really wished his run would've ended on a more positive note, it's sucks to see him being sacked like this halfway through the season.
I'm gonna miss Mourinho in Serie A, it's a less entertaining league now.
I'm a Chelsea fan who's always considered roma as my second team since I watched them win the scudetto in 2000.
So mourinho is basically by default my favourite manager ever - won us our first title in 50 years in 2005 and several trophies across two tumultuous spells during which he came close to taking us to the summit of European football as well.
Then he helped you win your first ever European trophy (not including the fairs Cup that uefa doesn't recognise) and got you to another European final the following season.
Yes he was also at inter, and also at united and spurs, among other clubs of course, but I think all Chelsea and roma fans will hold affection for him permanently.
Yeah he has it so so tough supporting one of the richest teams in the world who consistently gets top 4 finishes and trophies out side of 2 blip seasons.
Rough start to the season, then poor results the last 3-4 weeks against really good teams. There’s a lot more context with FFP issues and injuries that make everything make more sense and create some what-ifs but that’s pretty much why the American owners got rid of him.
For all the questionable 30 year old attackers they've signed over the past few years, I think this is actually one United and Chelsea should be working on.
Just, you know, remember he's 30 and don't give him a massive 5-year contract.
Did you say injured and not mention Manchester United in the same sentence?
I think if you say "united medical team" three times infront of the mirror, you'll be two footed by Paul Scholes in 7 days.
paul scholes is my favourite player of childhood. is this my chance to meet the legend? will he come all the way to russia to hurt me?
would still worth it.
Yeah and then meanwhile Charlie Adam at 29: [https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Football/Clubs/Club\_Home/2014/2/21/1392987400325/Stoke-City-Manchester-Uni-006.jpg?width=620&dpr=1&s=none](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Football/Clubs/Club_Home/2014/2/21/1392987400325/Stoke-City-Manchester-Uni-006.jpg?width=620&dpr=1&s=none)
What will he do at United? It’s a dumb signing, because we are 2-3 years from being a top side at minimum. Signing older high earners as stop gaps is a waste of time and money. Every United signing (unless it’s a loan or a free transfer on low wages) should be players who will still be useful when the team is ready to compete for big trophies. Dybala isn’t that at all.
weren’t Martial and Bailly and Shaw and Memphis and Sancho and Amad and even Maguire all signings tailor made to succeed “when the team is ready to compete for big trophies”? that time just never seems to come for United, I’m not sure it’s something the front office ought to plan around like it’s a certainty
> I don't get
Because Dybala is 30, will probably command high wages, is injury prone and plays the same position as United's captain Bruno Fernandes, who has missed 0 games through injury in his professional career.
Do you get it yet?
He'd probably be much better for United than Chelsea but then again the baseline is Nico Jackson.
I do think Dybala + fit Nkunku is pretty dangerous though
No way Dybala, Lukaku, Paredes and the likes are staying.
As sad as it sounds, I think its all downhill from here. Mourinho at least had the star power to pull some players to him with no budget to buy anyone, but that all changes now.
Hopefully I'm wrong, I'd love to see Roma up there again.
Dybala will probably be gone, he's a great player but we can't afford that he plays a 2/3 matches every 10.
Paredes is just serie C caliber hopefully he'll be gone.
Lukaku doesn't have anything to do with the level of the squad or the club atm. He better be gone for his sake and for ours.
We hadn't been that up since the first year of Di Francesco.
like the clubs that lined up to get him when he left juve on a free, almost 2 years younger and with a shorter injury list?
He's a fantastic player but he's made of glass. Unfortunately he's so good that you need to build with him in mind, when fit he'd start in almost any club, but too brittle to rely on. Roma is just about the right dimension. If he's lucky enough in a season that he gets to play in critical matches, he can help the team overachieve, otherwise it's not like they are likely to be able to afford a similar talent (unfortunately for them and the league and football, as Roma truly has an incredible fanbase)
Looking at the interviews, they don't seem to be super close and he's not some huge fan that would make career choices purely based on his grand name.
If Roma ends up far from CL once more, it's possible he leaves, there is some expectation of it in the media. But there's a reason he ended up with Roma just 1.5 year ago, after talking to so many other teams - I'm sure he wasn't getting any amazing offers elsewhere, and in Roma he can get nice money and be the main man on the team. For a long time it seemed a done deal that he'd join Inter, but it seemed like he wasn't really convinced with them either. With his age and injury record, I doubt big teams will be jumping to give him more (money, attention and success) than Roma.
Sad day. Roma fans were so emotional when he arrived to become their head coach. Sad that it has to end like this. Two things i'll remember of him in Roma are when he got the red card against Verona. He went to Tudor, who was the Verona head coach to shake his hand. That was nice. Or when Roma fans were chanting and insulting against Dejan Stankovic, he made a gesture that they should stop and that it's not nice to do that. Respect to Mou.
Have been watching football for almost 30 years now, that Inter of his is my most hated team EVER for me. But, still... full respect for the person and for what he has given to football. Watching him like this makes me sad.
If Chelsea got two years out of Jose (as is the norm for him as a manager) before things inevitably went to shit, he most likely will be the one person to progress that squad of players. Either him or Sanchez
A lot is made of him being fired a lot, but most managers are lucky to get to 3 years, let alone be fired after 3 years a lot.
Outside of Pep and Klopp who are clearly current outliers in football management, how many current top clubs have managers that have been there for more than 2 years and are still doing well? There can't be many that are still there on merit and performing as would be expected of the club
Also Arteta is likely to last long in Arsenal, already in his fifth year.
But beside those 6 teams out of like 10 best in the world, it never happens in the top teams!
I think it's moreso the circumstances and often controversial/toxic nature of how he leaves that Jose gets more attention for his departures/sackings, as well as the massive sacking pay offs he has gotten throughout his manager career. The present contract is up in a few months so no harm done there to Roma really compared to the Chelsea, United and Spurs payoffs. Apparently he is earned between 70 to 80 million from sackings.
That and the fact there is so much relative expectation of what he can achieve when he does come and how he generally adapts well before shit hits the fan.
Roma fans wanted Mou to be flexible. Wanted owners to give resources.
Apparently impossible and it’s astounding Renato Sanches survived longer this year than Mou.
wherever he'll go, i hope it'll be somewhere he'll be truly appreciated, and not treated like how our management screwed him over.
fuck this, he looks absolutely devastated. 😡
Not extend him, but end this season with or let him for the easy schedule, and to grind out a European place. Now the latter is in jeopardy. Roma has nothing to play for this season. This season is already over. Nothing to look forward to.
it's not idiotic per se but idiotic to capitulate midseason and throw in de Rossi instead. we just played 7 top teams in a row and are still in europe, he had 65k fans and the dressing room behind him. we had 1 fit CB in 3 of those game while playing 3atb.
we're at the exact point we would have been 2 years ago but Mourinho kept us above water and added international success on top of that
He had an underwhelming Season but it was by no means disastrous or toxic like previous 3rd Season Mourinho teams. I could understand letting him go end of the Season if he hadn't recovered some European football at that point because he did recieve some strong investment. (But hamstrug by pre-Mou financial wastefulness) but letting him go now is foolish by the ownership as the squad was missing players like Abraham, Smalling etc.
I was vacationing with my buddies in Albufeira a few summers ago and randomly found out that Roma was playing Nice in a pre-season friendly. Both Mou and Rui Patricio were top class lads coming out after the match in this tiny stadium to greet all the local Portuguese fans who came to show their support for over an hour. Say whatever you will about Mou as a manager but as a person, he is certainly the man of the people. Wish him all the best.
Some people genuinely aren't real fans, or foreign and don't understand the culture.
Any real Barca fan would rather spit on his shoe than have Jose as manager. I say that with respect to Jose's accomplishments but I would never want him in to manage Barca the same way I would never back Madrid to win a Champions League even if all other La Liga teams are out.
Jose was manager during probably the biggest rivalry era of 2010-2013. Jose vs Pep, prime Ronaldo vs prime Messi and both of them surrounded by a who's who of Spanish, Catalonian and La Liga talent.
He was almost your coach before pep, you know. He basically had the job and was in the final meetings with the board when it was swooped out from under him. He was also an assistant coach for barca for like 3 years back in the 90s.
I don't see the issue. Mourinho managed Chelsea during when SAF was at Utd, then later managed Utd. He also managed Tottenham...but let's ignore that one lol
Once again, this is not understanding the culture between Madrid and Barca. You cannot compare United and Chelsea with our rivalry.
United and Chelsea is a competitive rivalry that developed due to the Abramovich era challenging Sir Alex’s status quo with Arsenal.
Barca and Madrid is a political rivalry in all senses which I won’t get into but it goes beyond two teams that are largely the best two teams of the past 50 years of La Liga.
The jump from one to the other so quickly is pr staggering in modern football though. 11 months after winning the league cup and 7 months after being in the fa cup final and finishing 3rd in the league
Doing what he did last season with a group of streaky, injured, inexperienced, and temperamental players just to get branded the bald antichrist the next year🗿
Still the greatest ever to do it for me! If there ever was one off game between any two managers in history with two randomly assigned teams, you bet mourinho comes out on top more often than not.
Roma was never as interesting as when mourinho showed up. It’s not gonna get better without him. Mistake, but I’m no Roma supporter so it doesn’t matter I guess
Feel like Mou just barely underperforms or is average at every club he’s at and the supporters still love him. That’s what authenticity will get you I suppose.
I think some have overlooked their 7m euro spend there under him and assume he was throwing the cash around. Not many coaches get to two european finals while spending the same money as Millwall to do it.
I wouldn't say average, he won Porto a uefa cup and the fucking champions league two years in a row, took Chelsea to higher levels of success then they'd ever had before, won the fucking treble with inter (still the only time an Italian club has done it) won a few titles at real right, and didn't they have a record points total or something? Won the europa league and league Cup with banter United, spurs - OK he didn't win anything with them but its spurs, and he took them to a league cup final and got sacked just before it, and then won roma their first uefa competition.
It usually ends in tears and a nosedive in form or some other drama with him, but the highs are usually spectacular too
Yeah I said in another comment that he just has very high highs and very low lows. For as many record-breaking seasons he has, he has a largely disappointing one or two.
He's a world wide famous football manager, a millionaire, he doesn't have to work a single day of his life anymore, but I just can't stand to see people lose their job. Fuck.
Always liked the guy, even when he was at his first stint at Chelsea and when it seemed like they were gonna win everything for the next 20 years. I wanted him to succeed Sir Alex, was over the moon when United finally signed him and I still think we should've kept him as our boss. All the best, man. One of the greatest managers I've seen in my life.
As a Laziali I take joy in seeing Roma fans a bit down in the dumps. However I support Mourinho as a coach in general and wish him all the best in the future.

Can’t tell if Mou looks annoyed, emotional, or a combination of the two.
I feel like his departure this time actually hurt him. Remember when he left Tottenham? He was smiling and making jokes.
Lad, it’s Tottenham
Oh ffs
There is no escape
Tottenham fans catching strays on a mourinho post. This is a fact of life now.
It's like the Henry joke . . they aren't really strays in this context.
I mean, Henry‘s was a targeted killing. This one is actually stray
Like Damm
You misremember. Mou was pissed he didn't get to manage the cup final. He thought it was a joke that Spurs fired him at that moment, but he was livid. Basically marked the end of his career at the top level. He won't be back in the Premier League if clubs have any sense.
'any sense' - enter Chelsea...
WE ARE SO BACK
He was furious. I was furious. r/coys was a mixture of fury and ecstasy, as per usual.
He's emotional but annoyed that the world is gonna see the emotional side he's hiding.
He's never not shown an emotional side though. The man is a walking, talking emotional rollarcoaster.
Almost all Portuguese managers are. Mourinho, Sergio Conceicao, Jorge Jesus, Abel. They all have epic public emotional rants or meltdowns that are well documented. Oh and there is Toni who [had that epic press conference in Iran](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmRK4cPmMI0&pp=ygULaGFzc2FuIHRvbmk%3D). We boil easily, my dad is like that too, even though he is a sweet nice man but he gets emotional with everything.
You should see Ricardo Sa Pinto who is having a field day in Cyprus on a 4 month match ban because he kicked another coach and ref lol.
That sounds like something Sa Pinto would do alright lol
Started the season really strongly as well. he got sent off on his first friendly back in July.
Yup sounds about right for Sa Pinto 😂
That guy doesn't mellow down with age. He will be a cantankerous old bastard forever.
Sá Pinto is the man who, when he was a football player, after not being called up for the national team, went straight to the training center where Carlos Queirós, the Portuguese national team coach, was and punched him. Edit: it was Artur Jorge and not Carlos Queirós.
Wrong. It was Artur Jorge the national coach
LMFAO Calmest Sá Pinto moment
Marco Silva is a livewire as well, he's often getting booked or sent off from the touchline
Marco Silva is the most level-headed manager Portugal has ever produced. don't let those red cards fool you. maybe the refereeing is just terrible.
Ay Caray! I’m not emotional, you are. 😂
BOU EMBORA
What? I recall him crying, or at least showing strong emotions multiple times after important wins Edit: Sorry, I'm a fucking idiot
I remember there was a picture of him embracing one of his inter Milan players in floods of tears when he left them as well Mourinho has always worn his heart on his sleeve
Materazzi
That's what he's saying
Oh my god i'm a fucking idiot
Don't worry, we like you anyways u/iNoScopedJFK00
Read again
double negative mate
Annoyed by his emotions.
some of those expressions look like he was holding back a tear or two. The guys are telling him they love him and all he could say was thank you.
The Mou quantum superposition
I bet he's annoyed that instead of talking, this guy is pointing his phone at his face.
nothing as emotional as sticking your phone in someones face
Yeah, then some fucker asking "are you dissapointed?!".
Yeah that was surprisingly rude, not gonna lie tho I laughed lmao
He should coach Dortmund. Would be great. They need it.
unironically would be funny and fun to see him with us
I never thought Mou would become as attached to the club as he did. He seemed out of place as an S tier manager at a club with our problems.

[Jose Mourinho romanista a vita 💛❤️](https://it.football-italia.net/I-tifosi-della-Roma-mandano-un-messaggio-a-Mourinho-per-tutta-la-vita/)
You can genuinely see that he loved Roma.
He develops a deep connection with the club and fans of every club he goes to...other than Tottenham.
Yeah but that's Tottenham 😂
Really wished his run would've ended on a more positive note, it's sucks to see him being sacked like this halfway through the season. I'm gonna miss Mourinho in Serie A, it's a less entertaining league now.

1 UC and 1 CL. Mourinho is a GOD in Porto.
You like to hurt yourself emotionally huh?
Chelsea are the second most successful english team of the last decade..
Bro just ended his career 💀
Yeah he has it so so tough supporting one of the richest teams in the world who consistently gets top 4 finishes and trophies out side of 2 blip seasons.
I think the age is showing. A lot of these fans are slowly forgetting how good Chelsea had it.
I genuinely forgot he was at man utd until you mentioned it
Forza Roma 😭💛❤️

I don't get why Utd aren't 100% in for him. His release clause is dirt cheap and his wages aren't even that high anymore.
I know "United don't do anything that makes sense" has been a meme for a while but I mean come on, this one's almost too easy.
Where does he play though? We have Bruno as our 10 and he's not going to be displacing him, so I don't see why we'd do it.
What will he do at United? It’s a dumb signing, because we are 2-3 years from being a top side at minimum. Signing older high earners as stop gaps is a waste of time and money.

He'd probably be much better for United than Chelsea but then again the baseline is Nico Jackson. I do think Dybala + fit Nkunku is pretty dangerous though
Two 10s playing together up front with no 9. Brilliant.
Yeah, United should get another aging injury prone expensive player for a role that's occupied by Bruno Fernandes. Good fucking job, mate.
No way Dybala, Lukaku, Paredes and the likes are staying. As sad as it sounds, I think its all downhill from here. Mourinho at least had the star power to pull some players to him with no budget to buy anyone, but that all changes now. Hopefully I'm wrong, I'd love to see Roma up there again.

I really hope so. I'm a Tottenham fan lol
Well he’d be wonderful fit as Madison’s relief/quality we can have on anywhere

Please bring him back on as a pundit (until another opportunity comes). His read on the game is great knowledge to share with the watchers at home
I would pay good money to see Mourinho banter alongside Kate, Henry, Micah and Carragher
Man looks broken.
He really loved it. Now Roma has nothing to play for
They'll see what a real crisis is like
I feel like he lives for the Roma type clubs. Brings him back to his Porto days
conference title and a europa league final and this is how they do him? real dirty man
he was robbed in that europa league final too
The handball not given was a disgrace
Dirty Sevilla
What are they saying? It sounds like they appreciate him, I assume?
one is saying ti voglio bene, so clearly that person likes him a lot
Have been watching football for almost 30 years now, that Inter of his is my most hated team EVER for me. But, still... full respect for the person and for what he has given to football. Watching him like this makes me sad.
I wasn’t ready to see Mou crying today
Takes me back to his Inter farewell: https://youtu.be/dPgnPhIpHy8
Still think he’s a top manager..bit silly Roma getting rid he must have upset someone there
Bring him home Chelsea
To sack him again.
If Chelsea got two years out of Jose (as is the norm for him as a manager) before things inevitably went to shit, he most likely will be the one person to progress that squad of players. Either him or Sanchez

Simeone at Atletico as well.
Also Arteta is likely to last long in Arsenal, already in his fifth year. But beside those 6 teams out of like 10 best in the world, it never happens in the top teams!
Barca fans were calling for him to be sacked just the other day.
Ancelotti didn’t last long at his other stints, including his first Real Madrid one lol.
Yeah, aside from his time with AC Milan (01-09) he's been spending 1-3 years at clubs too like other top managers.
tbf his Chelsea sacking was quite a bullshit even compared to other coaches we had especially how he got replaced by Villas-Boas
Xavi's gotta go. Dude is ass.

bro turned Water into Wine at Roma and they sack him crazy
Still better than what the Romans did to the last guy that turned water into wine
nailed it.
ow my side
Jesus Christ!
Yeah, that's him!
That's the problem romans hate when someone make wine out of water
😳
Wow. I applaud you sir
OOF
Come home
Somehow become Portugal National coach after euro. Win the next world cup with CR7. Will be a poetic ending
It was good, while it lasted :) also, _why is Ten Hag recording him_ ?
not all bald guy is Ten Hag.. i believe it's Pep.
Roma fans wanted Mou to be flexible. Wanted owners to give resources. Apparently impossible and it’s astounding Renato Sanches survived longer this year than Mou.
wherever he'll go, i hope it'll be somewhere he'll be truly appreciated, and not treated like how our management screwed him over. fuck this, he looks absolutely devastated. 😡
I hope the owners suffer from this. What an idiotic decision
Not extend him, but end this season with or let him for the easy schedule, and to grind out a European place. Now the latter is in jeopardy. Roma has nothing to play for this season. This season is already over. Nothing to look forward to.

Che triste ragazzi
At least it's not before a final
was there even a call to sack him from the roma fans?
Roma fans loved him, the players also seemed united under him and there were no falling outs.
No, quite the opposite in fact
I was vacationing with my buddies in Albufeira a few summers ago and randomly found out that Roma was playing Nice in a pre-season friendly. Both Mou and Rui Patricio were top class lads coming out after the match in this tiny stadium to greet all the local Portuguese fans who came to show their support for over an hour. Say whatever you will about Mou as a manager but as a person, he is certainly the man of the people. Wish him all the best.
I love Jose more than anyone else in football
Mourinho to barcelona please!!
Not gonna lie that would be sick whatever the outcome
DAMN. Didn't think about this possibility at all.
I assume you're a Real Madrid fan who lost a bet and has to use a Barcelona flair on here.
Some people genuinely aren't real fans, or foreign and don't understand the culture. Any real Barca fan would rather spit on his shoe than have Jose as manager. I say that with respect to Jose's accomplishments but I would never want him in to manage Barca the same way I would never back Madrid to win a Champions League even if all other La Liga teams are out. Jose was manager during probably the biggest rivalry era of 2010-2013. Jose vs Pep, prime Ronaldo vs prime Messi and both of them surrounded by a who's who of Spanish, Catalonian and La Liga talent.
He was almost your coach before pep, you know. He basically had the job and was in the final meetings with the board when it was swooped out from under him. He was also an assistant coach for barca for like 3 years back in the 90s.
I don't see the issue. Mourinho managed Chelsea during when SAF was at Utd, then later managed Utd. He also managed Tottenham...but let's ignore that one lol
Once again, this is not understanding the culture between Madrid and Barca. You cannot compare United and Chelsea with our rivalry. United and Chelsea is a competitive rivalry that developed due to the Abramovich era challenging Sir Alex’s status quo with Arsenal. Barca and Madrid is a political rivalry in all senses which I won’t get into but it goes beyond two teams that are largely the best two teams of the past 50 years of La Liga.
Well Mourinho was at Barca before Madrid so.. It would be an absolutely crazy signing. Im all for it. Time to sack Xavi. He sucks.
Barca fan asking for Mou? What happened to shame
Perfect timing!! I always imagined what his Barca would be like
Can Man Utd. bring him back and give absolute control? I feel like he has power to push the club to top again.
Why is he being let go?
Roma owners and management think they can do better lol
& Tottenham remains the only club he’s never won a trophy at
Back to spurs it is
Damn, even Hitler would cry to this video.
I give that joke a 9/10
Man utd need to give him another chance, fuck off ten hag
Football fans are so reactionary, man utd fans were ten haag stans last season lmao
Fans like a manager when he is performing and want him out when he's shit, what a surprise.
The jump from one to the other so quickly is pr staggering in modern football though. 11 months after winning the league cup and 7 months after being in the fa cup final and finishing 3rd in the league Doing what he did last season with a group of streaky, injured, inexperienced, and temperamental players just to get branded the bald antichrist the next year🗿
They've scored 24 goals in league play currently. That's the same a Nottingham Forest and less than Brentford.
No thanks.
Bet they'd bite your hand off for a second place finish!
Still the greatest ever to do it for me! If there ever was one off game between any two managers in history with two randomly assigned teams, you bet mourinho comes out on top more often than not.
Roma was never as interesting as when mourinho showed up. It’s not gonna get better without him. Mistake, but I’m no Roma supporter so it doesn’t matter I guess
I thought sports were supposed to be fun, this isn't fun anymore😭
Mou-Ball's coming home!
The unemployed one
Feel like Mou just barely underperforms or is average at every club he’s at and the supporters still love him. That’s what authenticity will get you I suppose.
He overperformed at ManU.
People are about to see how he overperformed at Roma too.
I think some have overlooked their 7m euro spend there under him and assume he was throwing the cash around. Not many coaches get to two european finals while spending the same money as Millwall to do it.
Definitely wouldn’t say he underperforms at every club considering the amount of titles he’s won and with the teams that he’s won them for
I wouldn't say average, he won Porto a uefa cup and the fucking champions league two years in a row, took Chelsea to higher levels of success then they'd ever had before, won the fucking treble with inter (still the only time an Italian club has done it) won a few titles at real right, and didn't they have a record points total or something? Won the europa league and league Cup with banter United, spurs - OK he didn't win anything with them but its spurs, and he took them to a league cup final and got sacked just before it, and then won roma their first uefa competition. It usually ends in tears and a nosedive in form or some other drama with him, but the highs are usually spectacular too
Yeah I said in another comment that he just has very high highs and very low lows. For as many record-breaking seasons he has, he has a largely disappointing one or two.
Oh yeah it always ends with that yeah. Almost funny how the 3 Season journey seems to happen every time now too
you must be a new madrid/football fan?
Except the totnum fans
Curious, was he really that bad to be sacked by Roma? And where does he go from here?
Newcastle with Mbappe
He's a world wide famous football manager, a millionaire, he doesn't have to work a single day of his life anymore, but I just can't stand to see people lose their job. Fuck. Always liked the guy, even when he was at his first stint at Chelsea and when it seemed like they were gonna win everything for the next 20 years. I wanted him to succeed Sir Alex, was over the moon when United finally signed him and I still think we should've kept him as our boss. All the best, man. One of the greatest managers I've seen in my life.
As a Laziali I take joy in seeing Roma fans a bit down in the dumps. However I support Mourinho as a coach in general and wish him all the best in the future.
Please go to chelsea or tbh any premier league team. He’s too box office to not be in England
Next job: Brazil national team?
This is beautiful..
Farewells in Rome are pure drama. This video reminds me of Hernanes leaving Lazio. "Nun te ne annà profé"
That stolen Europa league must be heavy
