AS Roma have parted ways with head coach Jose Mourinho following a poor run of form.
The Giallorossi have won just one of their last six Serie A games, and sit ninth in the league.
Former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi set to be named as Mourinho’s successor.
The Giallorossi have won one of their last six Serie A games and were recently knocked out of the Coppa Italia by City rivals Lazio, where Mourinho was sent off.
Mourinho joined Roma in 2021 and spent two-and-a-half years in the role, leading them to the Europa Conference League title in 2022.
The 60-year-old also guided them to the Europa League final last season, where they were defeated by Sevilla on penalties. His contract was due to expire in June.
Talksport understands that, despite being unable to steer Roma to Champions League qualification during his tenure, Mourinho was a glorified figure among the club’s fan base.
An agreement with former Roma captain De Rossi to take over is being finalized. Sky in Italy understands De Rossi will take charge until June, with the club having an option to renew his contract based on achievements and results.
Graham Potter, previously of Brighton and Chelsea, along with Antonio Conte, were also under consideration for the position.
