BOTH Jose Mourinho and Tammy Abraham are reportedly set to leave Roma at the end of the season.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss arrived in the Italian capital in 2021 and led them to Europa Conference League success in his first season.
He then guided them to the Europa League final last term but Roma have made an indifferent start to the current campaign.
Mourinho, 60, is only under contract at the Stadio Olimpico until June 2024 and now it looks unlikely that he will be staying after that.
TeamTalk claims that the Portuguese coach is “set to leave once his contract expires” and that his departure “will usher in a new era” in Rome.
And they also claim that “several players will follow him out the door” – and one of those is 26-year-old England international striker Abraham.
