Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri expresses regret over the abrupt dismissal of Jose Mourinho from his coaching role at Roma, emphasizing Mourinho’s “extraordinary” impact on the Serie A club. The legendary Portuguese tactician faced an unexpected exit following a challenging period with just one win in Roma’s last six league matches.
Allegri, speaking to Sky Sports Italia, voiced his disappointment, stating, “Italian football is losing an important coach. Both for what he did in his career and at Roma, extraordinary, from the outside everything seems easy. The results demonstrate it.”
The swift decision to appoint Roma legend Daniele De Rossi as the new head coach, taking charge immediately, adds a layer of complexity to Mourinho’s departure. De Rossi steps into the role with Roma currently positioned ninth in Serie A, five points away from Champions League contention.
Expressing his condolences, Allegri also wishes luck to both Mourinho and De Rossi, acknowledging their respective paths in football. As Mourinho becomes a free agent, speculation arises about potential destinations, including Chelsea and Brazil. Meanwhile, Allegri continues his pursuit of Serie A glory with Juventus, currently trailing Inter by only two points.
The unexpected managerial shuffle adds intrigue to the Italian football landscape, leaving fans and pundits anticipating the next moves for Mourinho and Allegri in this dynamic Serie A season.
