Jose Mourinho’s first setbacks in Roma

If Rome is an eternal city, it is difficult to say about the coaches who won on the bench of Roma. Since the early 2010s, only Rudy Garcia has been president of Kialoros for more than two years. With the selection of Jose Mourinho, Roma returned as a renowned coach with clearly established sporting principles. On paper for a club that has been very low for many seasons, what returns a little stability. In recent weeks, however, chlorosis has shown very little calm. Despite Roma’s move to Genoa’s lawn this Sunday (8:45 pm), Jordan Verdout’s team has won just one of their last seven matches and is sixth in Serie A. In Europe, Mourinho’s men are in 2nd place. Their team at the Europa Conference and in the 1/16 round is under unqualified threat.

A promising start before the fall: A new constant in Mourinho

Without disaster, the situation in the Italian capital “Significance One” deteriorated significantly from the first steps. Often, the Portuguese coach was quickly accepted by his new club. Under his command, Roma got off to a great start with six wins in six games in all competitions. “Before Mourinho, Roma did not win the matches they suffered. This is a team that knows how to work hard and win even the toughest matches. Even on the management side, we feel that Mourinho wants to do a lot of things. Rome dreamed again with Mourinho2, explained in mid-September, on Eurosport , Guillaume Maillard-Pacini, a journalist specializing in Italian football.

But with “tenderness”, the fairy tale can suddenly take on the appearance of a nightmare. Last season, many British spectators imagined joining the Tottenham title race. Twelve days later, the Mourinho-led Londoners were proudly at the top of the Premier League before collapsing completely. Last April, Tottenham finished 7th, so Spurs management decided to split with Special One. In the past, he may have played for Manchester United (2016-2018), which began with two trophies he won in the first season, one-third marked by conflicts with his dressing room before the second trivial training session, and the Red Devils’ worst start since 1990. This time, in Roma, the difficulties came sooner than expected.

A historic defeat and the players were isolated

Defeat was certain during the derby against Lazio (3-2, September 26), which was the first major obstacle for Mou and his troops. The Portuguese lost at the first big meeting of the season, but the setback that Zoria Lohansk (0-3) really dusted off at the Europa conference with his Roma win (2-0) on home soil against Emboli in the next game was precisely what happened at this Europa League conference.

Marash Kumbulla, Brian Reynolds or Ricardo Calafiori were directly mentioned by Mourinho, who had all the trouble in the world to cover up doubts about their status.
