The decision comes in the wake of Roma’s 3-1 defeat to AC Milan, leaving them in 9th place on the table with only one victory in their last five league matches.
“We would like to thank José on behalf of all of us at Roma for his passion and efforts since his arrival at the club,” Roma owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin said in the club statement.
