“Please come back this afternoon.” When Roma's players arrived at Trigoria for training this morning around 9:00 a.m., they received exactly this answer. They were sent home and told to come back in the afternoon because practice had been moved to the afternoon. They will know the reason immediately after, through a press release: "Joze Murinjo has resigned".
None of the players were aware of this, also because the decision - including the substitution - had been made hours before. The first internal leak comes out a few hours before the press release, but no report on the team about a decision that was made by the owners alone.
Without consulting Tiago Pinto (but that was to be expected, given that his mandate will end in a few weeks), but neither with Lina Suluku. And this is already making more noise, because the CEO of the yellows has not digested the ownership's decision at all not to consult him on such an important decision.
She has today expressed her disappointment to the people close to her for a choice she does not agree with. Will there be consequences, we will see in the coming days.
Rumors of a busy day. The news instead speaks of Daniele De Rossi arriving above all to calm a country which, as expected, would surely have been set ablaze by the news of Jose Mourinho's sacking.
So it was, and certainly the arrival of a champion like De Rossi served to calm minds that would otherwise have been much more heated. De Rossi, with whom an agreement was reached overnight, arrives to play the role of ferryman, let's see if the results tell a different story.
With an interim coach on the bench, a general manager saying goodbye at the end of the transfer window and a CEO completely sidelined for a coaching decision like that, different scenarios open up. The most likely, which the owners have already started working on, is to restart in February with a new general manager, who can then have a say in the new technical guidance.
If in recent years Pinto has focused above all on big free players and loans, now the idea is to hire a GM who can work above all with youth and create value by buying potential players: name the best known is that of Paul Mitchell. But Christopher Vivel's profile is also being evaluated. What is certain today is that the decision for Mourinho made by Friedkins alone is a point of no return. Rome will start over.
