3.34pm – Dybala greets Mourinho ‘working with you is a huge pleasure’
“Thank you mister! Thank you for everything. Working with you was a huge pleasure.” This is how Paulo Dybala, Roma striker, greets José Mourinho with a post on his Instagram profile. “Thank you for your advice and every word you gave me. I wish you and your staff all the best. I hope we’ll see each other again soon!”, concluded the Argentine who yesterday worked on his day off in Trigoria to recover in view of Saturday afternoon’s match against Verona.
2.28pm – Capello, these Americans don’t respect people
“I think that these American companies work without respecting the people they collaborate with. We saw it at Milan with Maldini and today in Trigoria with Mourinho. There is no sensitivity on their part, but only business. I, however, think that respect is also needed, perhaps by agreeing first and separately and not with a press release and a phone call”. Interviewed by Sky Sport who asked him for a comment on José Mourinho’s dismissal, Fabio Capello is harsh with the American owners of Roma who today decided to dismiss the ‘Special One’. According to Capello, the last coach to win a championship with the capital’s Giallorossi (in 2001), “that something wasn’t working was clear from the fact that they didn’t respond to his requests. They treated him in the least respectful way and we’re talking about one of the most important coaches of history. It also happened to me in Russia (where he coached the national team), where they warned me at the airport.” But does Capello now want to give advice to the new Roma coach Daniele De Rossi? “A piece of advice? To study what Mourinho has done so far – he replies -, and try to bring in some small variations without revolutionizing. Otherwise you’re going against a section of the dressing room that won’t follow you”. “Like me, he started in Spal and we have something in common – says Capello -. It will be difficult, but knowing the Roman environment he must show his worth. As a footballer he was very good, now he must show it as a coach. He must work on the players and show that they are a real team, and the fans will have to support the team much more.”
2.18pm – Abodi, in my opinion there is also something else…
“In these cases it is said, I take note of it.” Thus the Sports Minister Andrea Abodi, speaking with journalists in the Chamber, commented on the dismissal of José Mourinho from Roma, and to those who asked him if he expected it he replied: “Perhaps there were some signs, then the Americans are quite clear When a relationship of that type breaks down… and then – he added – in my opinion there is also something else, objectively”.

1.56pm – De Rossi ‘work and sacrifices for our goals’
“I would like to thank the Friedkin family for having entrusted me with the responsibility of the technical guidance of Roma: for my part I know no other path other than that of application, daily sacrifice and the need to give everything I have inside to face the challenges that confront us are waiting between now and the end of the season.” These are Daniele De Rossi’s first words as Roma’s new coach. “The emotion of being able to sit on our bench is indescribable, everyone knows what Roma means to me, but the work that awaits all of us has already taken over – says the former ‘Captain Future’ -. We don’t have time, nor choice: being competitive, fighting for our goals and trying to achieve them are the only priorities that my staff and I have given ourselves.”
Daniele De Rossi, immediately after the official announcement, left his home in the center of Rome at two in the afternoon to head towards Trigoria where he will lead his first training session at 5pm. A dozen fans were also waiting for him outside the house, but the new Giallorossi coach made no other statements other than those contained in the press release released by the club. ‘DDR’ left Roma as a footballer in May 2019 to finish his career at Boca Juniors. Then he was part of Italy’s coaching staff in the European Championship played in 2021 and ended with the Azzurri’s victory at Wembley on 11 July, before his experience as coach of Spal, in Serie B, last season where he was sacked by president Joe Tacopina after 17 games.

12.45 – Armored Trigoria, leaflets against Friedkin
It’s an armored Trigoria that welcomed the news of José Mourinho’s dismissal this morning. Two police vans on Piazzale Dino Viola (filled with leaflets against the Friedkins who own the club), but there are still few fans outside the Giallorossi sports centre. But there is a fear that they could grow as the hours pass. The Portuguese coach is still inside Trigoria, where he is greeting some of the players present (including Gianluca Mancini) and the employees. The training, initially scheduled for the morning, was moved to 5pm with the owner’s aim to have the new coach direct it (contacts with De Rossi continue). The Giallorossi CEO, Lina Soulouokou, also arrived at the sports center.
12.32 – Gasparri, Mourinho? He’s a leader, sorry
“Mourinho’s dismissal saddens me, clubs look at the results, they look at everything, but Mourinho is someone who manages popular feelings and has managed to fill the stadium, to arouse emotions. Football is made up of balance sheets, results, but also of passions and, on the front of passions, Mourinho remains an unattainable leader”. The FI group leader in the Senate, Maurizio Gasparri, said this outside Montecitorio. “I’m sorry because Mourinho is a leader,” added Gasparri.
12.20pm – Mourinho sacked, six benches lost in Serie A
With Jose Mourinho’s dismissal, the number of lost benches in Serie A rises to six. The Portuguese coach joins a long list of Italian and foreign coaches. The first on the list in chronological order is Paolo Zanetti: he was sacked by Empoli last September 19th and replaced by Andrea Andreazzoli. The Portuguese Paulo Sousa, however, was relieved of his duties at Salernitana on 19 October; Filippo Inzaghi arrived in his place. Andrea Sottil’s adventure on the bench in Udine ended on October 24th: the coach was replaced by Gabriele Cioffi. Napoli said goodbye to Rudi Garcia on November 14th to take Walter Mazzarri in his place. Yesterday Andrea Andreazzoli, who in turn had replaced Zanetti at Empoli, had to leave the Tuscan bench entrusted by the club to Davide Nicola. Today the end of the marriage between Roma and the Portuguese.

12:00 – Post on ‘X’ with photos Mourinho’s Conference is a fake
The post on X with “Goodbye, Rome” and the photo of the Conference League won in Tirana is from a fake profile of José Mourinho. The post, immediately after the news of the exemption, went around the web in a very short time, misleading everyone, having the blue tick that characterizes certified profiles. Only later did the writing “I’m not José Mourinho” also appear in the profile bio.
11.15 – Fans divided ‘a stab wound’, ‘now Conte’
José Mourinho is no longer the coach of Roma and the news divides the Giallorossi fans, unleashed on social media and the radio. “I will never recover from this news, it’s a blow that we didn’t deserve”, writes Valentina on mistake. Mourinho’s cycle was over but we had to wait until June also out of respect for those who brought us to the top in Europe.” Then there are those who are already thinking about the future and many, even under Mourinho’s farewell post, write “now bring us Conte”. In reality, the ownership is currently intensifying contacts with Daniele De Rossi, as the Special One’s replacement. Roma’s owners do not escape criticism. “Shame on you for the misery you have given Mourinho over these years,” writes Gianluca on Instagram.

Great coverage in the British press for the dismissal of Josè Mourinho: the BBC has dedicated an updated page, with comments and reactions, to the dismissal of the now former Roma coach. In addition to the statistics of the Portuguese’s adventure on the Giallorossi bench, with only 49% of victories in 138 games at the helm of Roma, the BBC wonders what the next stage of Mourinho’s career will be, if he will accept a possible sumptuous proposal coming from Saudi Arabia or perhaps he will return to the Premier League for the fourth time, where he has already coached Chelsea, in two different periods, Manchester United and Tottenham, his last team before moving to Italy.
