The poor start to the season for the Giallorossi, puts Mourinho’s position in doubt in the bookmakers’ predictions.
Mourinho to get Sacked? It’s hard to imagine at the start of the season, but the complicated beginning of Roma’s Serie A campaign makes this scenario much more likely. So much that bookmakers Have significantly reduced the odds for ‘Mourinho sacking/resigned by December 25, 2023.
Is Mourinho at Risk of Being Sacked? Before the start of the season, the possibility of Mourinho being sacked paid out around 15 times the stake (to put it in perspective, if you put 1$ you will win 15).
But, after only three matchdays the quote has slipped away, with Roma earning only one point against Salernitana at home. Following that, there were defeats against Verona and Milan, results that simultaneously triggered changes in odds in many betting areas, including the manager’s position.
Mourinho’s dismissal by Christmas now stands at odds of approximately 7.50 times the stake. After the break, Roma will face the bottom-ranked Empoli, with Paolo Zanetti (Empoli’s coach) another candidate to be sacked very soon. The Giallorossi cannot afford any mistakes in that match, especially Mourinho, who is now pretty much under pressure.
