Mourinho unfollows Roma.

Italy: Former coach Jose Mourinho unfollowed Roma on social media after being sacked.

Mourinho unfollowed Roma on Instagram on January 25th. According to Goal , "The Special One" seems to want to erase his former club from his memory.

Mourinho managed Roma from May 2021 to January 2024. He led the Olimpico-shared club to win the 2021-2022 Conference League, reach the 2022-2023 Europa League final, and finish sixth in Serie A twice. The Conference League was Roma's first European Cup in their 96-year history. However, on January 16th, Mourinho was sacked immediately after a 1-3 defeat to Milan, dropping them to ninth in Serie A. Roma subsequently appointed former captain Daniele De Rossi for the remainder of the season.

Mourinho is one of the most successful coaches in the world . He has won 26 titles, including two Champions Leagues, two UEFA Cups/Europa Leagues, and one Conference League. He is also the only coach to possess all three UEFA titles. However, Mourinho is being questioned about his ability to return to managing a major club. He is often criticized for his somewhat negative tactics, which are deemed unsuitable for today's big clubs. The last major club that "The Special One" managed was Manchester United in 2018.

After leaving Roma, Mourinho was linked with Barcelona and the Saudi Arabian team, Al Shabab. However, when asked about the possibility of managing Barcelona, ​​the Portuguese coach simply smiled.

According to former striker Darren Bent, Newcastle could be the perfect club for Mourinho. He believes Newcastle are in need of a trophy and a cup specialist like Mourinho could solve that problem. "Mourinho is better at cup competitions than league games," Bent said. "The last time he won a league title was in 2015 with Chelsea. In cup competitions, Mourinho knows how to achieve the best results in a short period. He's not the answer to finding a long-term manager, but he would be useful for clubs looking for immediate success."

Last season, manager Eddie Howe led Newcastle to the League Cup final and a fourth-place finish in the Premier League. However, maintaining consistency and winning trophies remains a major challenge. This season, Newcastle have been eliminated from the Champions League and the League Cup, and have dropped to 10th place in the Premier League.

Bent also suggested that Mourinho could manage national teams, with England being a possible option if Gareth Southgate leaves after Euro 2024.

Meanwhile, former player Frank Leboeuf believes Mourinho's ultimate goal is to manage his home country's national team, Portugal. This position is currently held by Spanish coach Roberto Martinez. In the Euro 2024 qualifiers, Martinez led Portugal to 10 wins, scoring 36 goals and conceding only two.
