Mourinho's time with the Italian club seemed to be successful since he led his team to the UEFA Conference League trophy and the Europa League final. Roma remained in the 6th position for the past two seasons. Roma has seen enough after the team struggled to pick up points before the Milan game. Roma was also eliminated from the Coppa Italia by their local rivals Lazio in the Olimpico.
Roma replaced Mourinho with former Roma captain Daniele de Rossi. In his debut as a coach, Roma defeated Hellas Verona 2-1 at home and now sits 8th in the Serie A with 32 points. They are level with Bologna, who are in 7th and only 2 points behind 4th place Fiorentina. The club will look to make a UCL spot after not playing Champions League for five years.
