'The Special One' says Arrivederci to the Giallorossi

Jose Mourinho said goodbye to Roma on Tuesday, after the Serie A club sacked the "Special One" midway through what has been a deeply disappointing third season in the Italian capital.

In a short message, Mourinho simply said "Arrivederci, Roma" to supporters on social media, alongside an image of him holding the Europa Conference League trophy he and the club won in 2022.

Roma said that Mourinho would leave alongside his staff "with immediate effect", adding that it was "in the best interests of the club" after a series of poor results left the team way off the pace in the Italian top flight.
