José Mourinho is starting to get linked to multiple sides, as he has begun showing dissatisfaction with how things are going at Roma. On the other hand, the club believes he will respect his contract and helm them in 2023/2024.
CEO Pietro Berardi told Ansa after an event at the Italian Parliament Tuesday.
“My conviction is that Mourinho will still be the Roma coach next season. We are halfway through his contract, a year and a half. He’s very determined and suffers because he wants to achieve results.”
According to La Repubblica, the Special One isn’t on the same page with owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin. He hasn’t spoken with them in months and doesn’t know their future plans. He’d like to compete with Inter and Napoli and wants the resources to do so. Instead, the Giallorossi will likely spend little on the transfer market due to the Financial Fair Play restrictions for years to come.
In addition, the American tycoons are firm believers in the validity of contracts. Therefore, the matter isn’t really on the table for them. They would require compensation to let the gaffer out of his deal early. The coach is in constant communication with director Tiago Pinto, but he’d like to intervene on topics above his pay grade.
Our Take on Roma and Mourinho
It’d be the case in a perfect world, but it’s naïve to think he’ll stay only because he’s tied to them for another campaign. The cash flow has drained in the past year. The Giallorossi will have to do some convincing to keep ahold of the gaffer, given the ambitious suitors.
