Roma ownership split about decision to extend Jose Mourinhoโ€™s contract

The current ownership at Roma is said to be split about the decision to hand Jose Mourinho a new contract.

The Giallorossi recently picked up a 2-0 win over Napoli, who were down to nine men in the game. While the win was vital, Roma remained sixth in the Serie A table.ย 

Mourinho has already made it clear that he wants to sign a new deal and La Repubblica report that the decision isnโ€™t as straight forward for the Giallorossi. The feeling is that while Mourinho has united a massive majority of the fanbase, that isnโ€™t quite the case for the Friedkins.

The Olimpico venerates the Portuguese, but the Friedkins arenโ€™t truly happy and that is bringing about doubts about a renewal. Some actions from Mourinho arenโ€™t liked by the Friedkins and those actions are usually the ones where he comes across as confrontational. A part of the ownership isntโ€™ a fan of all of that, even though they have discreetly been adapting to it for a while now.

The father-son pairing in the ownership doesnโ€™t see eye to eye, when it comes to a decision around Mourinho. Some at the ownership would like a change, while others do not want to see a loss of the heritage that Roma have acquired under Jose. The club continues to reflect and they will make a decision later in the season.
