Roma Makes Decision on Mourinho's Future After Difficult Start to New Season

• Jose Mourinho is staring at an uncertain future with Roma
• Reports claim the Italian club could sack him as manager after a slow start to the new season
• Hansi Flick is believed to be the leading contender to succeed the veteran Portuguese boss

Roma are reportedly ready to sack Jose Mourinho as the manager following the club's poor start to the new season.

The Italian giants have endured a frustrating start to the new Serie A campaign that has seen them record three defeats in their first seven games.

However, Mourinho's charges have since managed to bounce back to winning ways, having recorded two victories in their most recent outings.

According to Metro UK, Roma followed up a 2-0 win against Frosinone with a huge 4-0 victory against Swiss side Servette in the Europa League on Thursday.

Roma ready to show Mourinho the door

Be that as it may, reports in Italy claim that Roma are keen to get rid of Mourinho.

Correire dello Sport claims that the club's owner Dan Friedkin wanted to sack the Portuguese after their 4-1 defeat away to Genoa last month.

According to the publication, Friedkin is still intent on sacking the former Premier League boss, with a defeat to Cagliari on Sunday expected to seal the Portuguese's fate.

So much so that Roma are said to have already lined up a replacement for Mourinho in the shape of Hansi Flick.

Flick is currently without a job after he was sacked as Germany's head coach after their recent 4-1 defeat against Japan in an international friendly.

Meanwhile, this is Mourinho's third season with Roma, having joined them in 2021 after he departed Tottenham Hotspur.
