José Mourinho started the season as a lame duck, as his contract with Roma runs out in June 2024. He and the club aren’t planning to decide his future too late. The call will likely come in the next three or four months, Leggo informs.
Despite the unusual situation, the Special One and the Giallorossi could still agree to prolong their relationship past the initial three-year deal. However, the squad will have to fare better than it has so far.
Both Mourinho and Roma want results before committing to each other again. The gaffer has long been frustrated by the limitations caused by the Financial Fair Play. Moreover, he’d like to be joined by a new charismatic executive who could handle the relations with the media and the referees.
The Special One turned down offers from Saudi Arabia last summer to stay in the Italian capital. He was linked to the Brazilian and the Portuguese national team in the recent past. The Giallorossi have started the season on the wrong foot, collecting just one point in the first three matches.
Our Take on Mourinho and Roma
They are already well into overtime on the matter. It would mean he’s leaving next summer, if not even earlier, in a normal team, but they are an anomaly. Still, the timeframe provided won’t be enough to judge this campaign, especially considering his wizardry in the cup.
