JAKARTA - AS Roma will reportedly fire Jose Mourinho if they lose to Cagliari at the Unil Domus Stadium, Sunday, October 8. A shocking news considering that this season only lasted seven matches.

Despite his controversial attitude and style of training, he remains one of the best coaches in Italy. He has proven his performance when he was poor at various clubs and has always won trophies at the club he handled.

Starting from Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United to Rome itself.

He won the Champions League trophy with Porto and Inter. At Madrid and Chelsea, Mourinho won league titles and other trophies.

The European competition title was also won with Manchester United when they won the Europa League and in 2022 gave Roma the UEFA Europa Conference League title. Only at Tottenham Hotspur, he failed to win the trophy.

The impressive achievement of the 60-year-old Portuguese man was because he ended his 14-year Roma title fasting by winning European trophies. Last season, Roma also reached the Europa League final before being defeated by Sevilla.

Only Mourinho's touch was fruitless. When he entered his third year since handling Roma in 2021, the team slumped.

Roma are in the lower zone by ranking 13th out of the first seven league games. How not, Giallorossi only won twice and have lost three times in domestic competitions, including being beaten by Genoa 4-1 and forced to give up 1-2 AC Milan at home at the Olimpico.

If he loses again against Cagliari, Roma will suffer worse and according to Corriere dello Sport, Mourinho will be in danger of losing his position.

Club owner Dan Friedkin has actually wanted to fire Mourinho since the defeat to Genoa. Only, he was still given the opportunity.

Moreover, Roma managed to get up by beating Frosinone 2-0 and performing optimally in the Europa League by slaughtering Servette 4-0.

However, Mourinho's fate will still be determined against Cagliari. If he is finally fired, it is reported that Friedkin has prepared a replacement.

Former Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick will replace Mourinho. Flick himself was just dismissed as coach of the German national team following a 4-1 defeat to Japan in a test match.

Before training Die Mannschaft, Flick actually achieved success at Bayern. He brought Bayern to the quadruple. In total, Flick won seven trophies over two seasons at Bayern.
