Statistics have shown that Jose Mourinho met AS Roma in a terrible state but transformed the Italian outfit into a European competing team.
What happened to Jose Mourinho?
The era of the former Real Madrid head coach came to an end on Tuesday, January 16 when Roma parted ways with the 60-year-old Portugal International.
The story of Mourinho's appointment in the summer of 2021 is an exciting one. Merely weeks after he left Tottenham Hotspur, he found himself presented with the chance to lead Rome in the first edition of the Europa Conference League.
And true to his reputation, he seized this opportunity with unwavering intention, guiding Roma to succeed in the tournament and putting an end to their 14-year trophy drought.
The achievement marked Mourinho's 26th trophy since his first managerial appointment, including two UEFA Champions League titles, a Europa League glory, and a UEFA Cup among others.
Mourinho led Roma to the Europa League final a season after his appointment, an impressive feat in its own right.
But despite their excellent efforts, the team fell short, surrendering to a setback in a penalty shootout against Sevilla.
The prospect of securing back-to-back continental trophies was cut short, especially for a club whose trophy cabinet had long remained empty. But the team's incredible achievement in his first season was a huge success.
However, It was the poor performance of Roma in the domestic league this season that ultimately landed Mourinho in hot water.
The Italian team deteriorated to sixth place for two consecutive seasons and currently sits in the ninth position, with only a single victory in their last six league games.
When evaluating the figures, It becomes noticeable that Mourinho's tenure yielded an average of just 1.61 points per game, the lowest run of any Roma coach who oversaw 50 or more matches.
However, the statistics below show why Jose Mourinho will remain the best manager AS Rome ever had:
AS Roma, before Jose Mourinho
15 years trophyless
1 European Final back in the 20th century
0 European trophies
Half-empty stadium
AS Roma, now
Played in back-to-back European Finals
1 European trophy
Lost The UEL Final in The Penalty shootout
40 consecutive sold-out matches at the Olimpico
The Passion of Romanistas Revived
Roma were respectable before Mourinho, having played in the UEFA Champions League Semi-finals and so on, but the passion Mourinho brought back to the club is just priceless.
The fans who had once stopped going to their home games had started turning up in huge numbers to support the Italian outfit.
What's next for Jose Mourinho?
It remains to be seen where the former Manchester United will be heading, with reports stating that he might consider taking a Saudi Arabia job following a link during the summer transfer window or secure any European club job.
