Juventus manager, Massimiliano Allegri has come out to blast Roma’s sacking of Jose Mourinho. He recently revealed that he feels the Portuguese manager did an extraordinary job at the Serie A club, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is so sorry about the dismissal, and it is very glaring that Italian football has just lost an important figure.
Allegri added that he wishes Daniele De Rossi the best of luck at the beginning of his Roma career.
His words, “I’m sorry about his dismissal, Italian football is losing an important coach. Both for what he did in his career and at Roma, extraordinary, from the outside everything seems easy. The results demonstrate it. I’m also sorry for the relationship we have, I wish him good luck for the rest and also to Daniele De Rossi, who is at the beginning of his career.”
WOW.
José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix GOIH is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Italian Serie A club Roma. Dubbed “The Special One” by the British media, Mourinho is one of the most decorated managers ever and is widely considered to be among the greatest managers of all time.
Mourinho was born in 1963 to a large middle-class family in Setúbal (a suburb of the Lisbon metropolitan area), Portugal, the son of José Manuel Mourinho Félix, who was known by the name Félix Mourinho, and his wife, Maria Júlia Carrajola dos Santos. His father played football professionally for Belenenses and Vitória de Setúbal, earning one cap for Portugal in the course of his career.
His mother was a primary school teacher from an affluent background; her uncle funded the construction of the Vitória de Setúbal football stadium. The Carnation Revolution leading to the fall of António de Oliveira Salazar’s Estado Novo regime in April 1974 also led to the family losing all but a single property in nearby Palmela.
Mourinho has also been a part of social initiatives and charity work, helping with a youth project, bringing Israeli and Palestinian children together through football and donating his lucky jacket to Tsunami Relief, earning £22,000 for the charity. Since his appointment in 2014, he acts as a Global Ambassador of the United Nations’ World Food Programme.
