'The FIRED ONE': Italian papers mark Jose Mourinho's Roma sacking with 'the capital in shock' at dismissal of coach who 'wrote an unforgettable story' by guiding the club to two European finals

Jose Mourinho has become the 'Fired One' after Roma sacked him with the club languishing ninth in the Serie A table.

A poor run of just one run in six league matches sealed Mourinho's fate as they fell further behind in the race for European qualification.

Ex-Chelsea and Manchester United boss Mourinho, 60, led Roma to success in the Europa Conference League during his first season as their coach.

Last season, they made it to the final of the Europa League but were defeated on penalties by Sevilla.
