After a dismal sequence of results, AS Roma fired head coach Jose Mourinho, have a look at his next new club odds
The Giallorossi are currently ninth in the league and have only won once in their past six Serie A games.
Daniele De Rossi is set to take over Mourinho’s place.
After losing their previous six Serie A matches, the Giallorossi were eliminated from the Coppa Italia by local rivals Lazio, where Mourinho was sent off. They are 22 points behind Inter Milan, the league leaders, in ninth place in Serie A.
Jose Mourinho next new club odds and prediction in 2024 as manager
After spending two and a half years at Roma in 2021, Mourinho helped the team win the Europa Conference League in 2022. The previous season, the 60-year-old led them to the Europa League final, where they lost to Sevilla on penalties. Moreover, his contract was set to expire in June this year. However, Roma severed their connection with Mourinho this week due to a poor run of form.

Daniele De Rossi, the midfield pillar and former captain of Roma, is expected to take Mourinho’s job as manager. He will meet with the Italian club’s management today. According to Sky in Italy, De Rossi will lead until June, after which the team may decide to extend his contract in light of his performance and accomplishments. Antonio Conte and Graham Potter were also considered for the part.
Saudi Arabia could be Mourinho’s potential next stop
As Mourinho is currently a free agent, Sky Bet predicts that the Saudi Pro League will be the Portuguese manager’s next stop. Last summer, the former managers of Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham turned down large offers from Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal.
However, Mourinho stated in an October speech that he anticipates managing in Saudi Arabia. He was certain that he would work in Saudi Arabia, but he would visit there in his spare time. He was pretty sure of it, but he did not know when Mourinho remarked.
- Any Saudi Pro League team: 3/1
- Portugal national team: 4/1
- Any MLS team: 5/1
- Newcastle United: 7/1
- FC Porto: 7/1
- England national team: 12/1
Any national team could also be an option
Mourinho is also a candidate to lead Portugal’s national team as head coach. However, his employment status will be determined by how well the squad performs at Euro 2024 this summer under Roberto Martinez.
Although Mourinho was also connected to Brazil’s national team the previous year, the five-time World Cup winners last week hired Dorival Junior.
