‘Eight Roma players have been told they can leave,’ according to Jose Mourinho.
José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix, is the current head coach of Serie A team Roma. He is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player. He is largely regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time, as well as one of the most decorated.
On Thursday, the former Tottenham Hotspur manager led his first Roma training session and lost no time in asserting his dominance on the team.
Roma have been connected with goalkeeper Rui Patricio of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka, but with Mourinho’s arrival, the club’s playing squad is likely to be overhauled, with many exiting players.
Pedro, Justin Kluivert, Steven Nzonzi, Robin Olsen, Ante Coric, Davide Santon, and Federico Fazio are among those told they will leave the club permanently this summer, according to the Daily Mail.
Pedro, a former Chelsea winger, was the most active in Roma’s side last season, making 27 appearances, and Mourinho has a past experience with the Spaniard, having brought Pedro to Stamford Bridge in 2015.
After taking over from Paulo Fonseca in May, Mourinho signed a three-year contract at the Stadio Olimpico.
