Love for Jose Mourinho is still high amongst Roma fans, with multiple banners supporting the coach seen in the Stadio Olimpico during the match with Hellas Verona.
The Special One was dismissed by the Giallorossi on Tuesday this week, ending a 30-month spell in the dugout in the Italian capital. Mourinho quickly won over the fans by winning the Conference League in his first season and followed that up with a Europa League final in his second campaign.
Posters thanking Mourinho began to appear around the streets of Rome following his sacking, as have banners thanking him and expressing anger at the club’s owners the Friedkins.
Seen at the Stadio Olimpico during the match with Hellas Verona were multiple banners held up by fans thanking Mourinho or attacking the Roma management.
“We did not demand trophies and laurels, but only respect for the shirt and its fans. Honour Roma and fight for its people!”

“There are memories that have no contracts, the runs and smiles you gave us, every time you stood up for us, you will always be respected for your Romanismo, thank you Mister.”
Ci sono ricordi che non hanno contratti
Le corse e i sorrisi che ci hai regalato
Tutte le volte che tu sei schierato
Per il tuo romanismo sarai sempre rispettato
