The atmosphere at San Siro turned turbulent as AS Roma’s manager Jose Mourinho faced resounding boos from fans before their 3-1 loss against AC Milan on Sunday. This setback unfolded amidst a penalty opener by Leandro Paredes for the visitors, followed by a striking turnaround with goals from Yacine Adli, Olivier Giroud, and Theo Hernandez.
The defeat, which lands Roma in the ninth spot, exacerbates the mounting pressure on Mourinho. While serving a touchline ban due to receiving red cards in the team’s last two matches, Mourinho’s absence from the dugout did not shield him from the audience’s discontent. Even as he watched from the stands, the crowd’s vocal displeasure was evident when he appeared on the stadium’s big screen.
With Mourinho’s contract slated to expire in June, speculations about his departure from the Italian capital loom large, marking a potential conclusion to his tenure as the manager. His notable tenure as the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss has undeniably captured global attention, further intensifying the spotlight on his future with AS Roma.
