AS Roma owner, Dan Friedkin, is reportedly contemplating the dismissal of Jose Mourinho in the event that the Giallorossi face defeat in their upcoming match against Cagliari. According to reports from Il Corriere dello Sport, Friedkin is ready to make this significant decision based on the outcome of Sunday's away game.
The newspaper further asserts that the decision to part ways with Mourinho was initially considered after Roma's 4-1 loss to Genoa on September 28. However, Director Tiago Pinto convinced Friedkin to grant Mourinho another opportunity.
Now, it appears that Friedkin has already identified Hans-Dieter Flick, the former manager of the German national team and Bayern Munich, as a potential replacement for Mourinho.
Roma's Serie A campaign has encountered a challenging start, with only two victories in their first seven league matches. While they have performed well in the Europa League, securing victories in both of their opening games, their domestic performance has raised serious questions.
Mourinho's contract with Roma is set to expire in June 2024, making the decision regarding his future a significant one for the club.
