Jose Mourinho set to LEAVE Roma at end of season with very familiar face in frame to replace him

JOSE MOURINHO will leave Roma at the end of the season, according to reports.

The former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham boss, 60, has endured a poor start to his third season at the helm of the Italian side.

Roma sit 10th in the Serie A table after just three wins from their opening eight games.

Mourinho‘s three-year deal with the club expires at the end of the campaign.

And journalist has claimed an extension “won’t happen”.

He went on to add: “There are no negotiations ongoing, there have never been. So they’ll part company at the end of the deal in June.”

Another European move or a switch to Saudi Arabia are both options available to Mourinho – who was heavily linked with the Middle East during the summer.

Meanwhile, Roma will be searching for the Special One’s replacement.

And one man who has already stated his interest in the club is Antonio Conte.

Mourinho and Conte have a long-standing rivalry having traded verbals in the past.

Conte, 54, has been out of work since being sacked by Tottenham last season.

He has declined moves to Saudi Arabia as he waits for the right vacancy.

And he recently named Roma and Napoli as sides he would be keen to join – while he also hinted at a return to Juventus.

He said: “I’ve rejected a huge proposal from Saudi — I decided to say no.

“I regretted leaving Juventus after just three years.

“I’d like to try an experience in Roma or Napoli one day, but I usually prefer to join at the end of the season.”
