The contract with the Rome team expires at the end of June 2024, but Jose Mourinho himself does not believe he can fulfill his commitment to lead AS Roma for another season.
Defeat in the Europa League final against Sevilla also meant that AS Roma could not qualify for the Champions League as expected, instead, they had to face the harsh reality of Serie A.
AS Roma failed, Jose Mourinho was not satisfied
This weekend, the Giallorossi will host Spezia at the Stadio Olimpico in matchday 38 of Serie A and must win this final round to secure 6th place in the final standings and a place in the Europa League. The 7th-placed Juventus are currently just 1 point behind, ready to overtake them to qualify for the European Cup.
Portuguese coach encourages the team before the final round of Serie A
In an interview with the Italian media after the Europa League final, Jose Mourinho said that AS Roma players deserved to win and did not bow their heads and leave after the unfortunate penalty shootout. The team still has to fight for their future in the European Cup next season and he will concentrate with his players on the match against Spezia…
Mourinho is dissatisfied with referee Anthony Taylor's way of refereeing.
"I will be with the team in this decisive match. Long-term commitment to the club, not sure. I want to stay, want to fight more but I am too tired. The team needs to be given more conditions next season because we are not fully prepared for the Champions League. The team has been robbed of hope and I hope the referee can stay in the Champions League to referee similar rubbish matches today" - Mourinho bitterly shared after giving his silver medal to a boy in the stands.
The future at AS Roma is not decided by Mourinho
"Sevilla are a big team, with experience and quality players that we didn't have. We played well in the first half, Sevilla did the same in the second half and in a balanced game, the penalty shootout decided the fate," Mourinho said about the first European Cup final that he lost after 6 times participating.
