This dismissal adds to Mourinhoโs track record of five previous sackings. Throughout his career, he has accumulated substantial compensation, earning approximately ยฃ80 million.
Notable payouts include ยฃ26 million from Chelsea, ยฃ17 million from Real Madrid, ยฃ19.6 million from Manchester United, ยฃ15 million from Tottenham, and a comparatively modest ยฃ3 million from Roma, given his contractโs expiration.
Mourinhoโs total compensation surpasses that of his managerial counterparts. His bitter rival, Antonio Conte, is estimated to have earned around ยฃ37 million in compensation during his career, with a significant portion coming from a ยฃ26 million payout by Chelsea in 2018.
Mourinho was on a ยฃ10 million annual salary at Roma which made him the second highest earning manager in a league that has managers taking home even less than a million. His payout from Roma is only likely to be around ยฃ3m, given he was out of contract at the end of the season with his current net worth at $120 million.
Mourinho’s 1.70 points-per-game record is the lowest for a manager of Roma since 2013, having managed 68 wins in 138 matches and his 929-day stint also yielded 31 draws and 39 defeats and the 29 points he accumulated this term were the fewest points the club have had after 20 Serie A games since the 2002-03 season (27).
Romaโs decision came after Mourinhoโs 17-month stint, culminating in a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan, a match he watched from the stands due to suspension. The club had won only one of their last six league games, and their overall performance this season has been lackluster, currently sitting behind several teams in the race for European qualification.
Roma Owners Expressed Gratitude
In a statement, Roma owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin expressed gratitude for Mourinhoโs passion and efforts but emphasized the need for an immediate change for the clubโs best interests.
The owners of the club said โWe would like to thank Jose on behalf of all of us at AS Roma for his passion and efforts since his arrival at the club.โ
They further added โWe will always have great memories of his tenure at Roma, but we believe that an immediate change is in the best interests of the club. We wish Jose and his assistants all the best in their future endeavors.โ
Mourinho had joined Roma in May 2021, securing the Europa Conference League title in 2022 and guiding the team to the Europa League final last season.
As Mourinho faces an uncertain future in the football world, having been dismissed by his last four clubs, his departure from Roma marks the end of a two-and-a-half-year tenure. Despite achieving success with European trophies, his managerial career has been consistently marred by disciplinary issues.
