The legendary Portuguese tactician was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jose-mourinho-sack-roma-hit-rock-bottom/blt5187dea35a8a0162" target="_blank">unceremoniously sacked from his role at Roma on Tuesday morning</a> following just one win in their last six league outings. Despite a dismal run of form it is one that has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-jose-mourinho-visibly-emotional-bids-goodbye-fans-roma-shock-sacking/blt3124bf8be4ca16d9" target="_blank">left Italian football in shock</a>, particularly considering Mourinho's European escapades with the club, and Juve boss Allegri shared in this surprise.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Italian bemoaned Roma's decision when speaking to Sky Sports Italia: "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."

WHAT ALLEGRI SAID

As Allegri alludes to, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/roma-instantly-replace-jose-mourinho-daniele-de-rossi-new-giallorossi-boss-friedkin-group-nightmare-2023-24/bltfd22e151cd035d2c" target="_blank">Italy and Roma legend De Rossi takes immediate charge at the helm</a>, with the Giallorossi languishing down in ninth in Serie A and five points from Champions League contention. The decision to appoint the ex-midfielder was reportedly already made by the time Mourinho was given his marching orders, which was done <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-jose-mourinho-leave-roma-immediately-impromptu-meeting-american-owners-daniele-de-rossi/blt98e9ae9190ffd05e" target="_blank">during an impromptu meeting that lasted just 25 minutes</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

With Mourinho now back on the market the rumour mill is sure to start up again, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jose-mourinho-next-job-roma-sacking/blt388d9146d491be25" target="_blank">teams ranging from Chelsea to Brazil mooted as potential next destinations</a>. Allegri, meanwhile, continues his quest back to Serie A glory, as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-weston-mckennie-juventus-tim-weah-sassuolo/blt88173a29c6da98fb" target="_blank">Weston McKennie, Tim Weah and Co.</a> now sit just two points off leaders Inter.
