Jose Mourinho was sacked after a string of poor results at Roma, but fans have not forgotten him as the manager won the UEFA Conference League in his first season in charge.

Although the decision to fire him should have been made by management, Il Messaggero reports that the players have complained about Mourinho and would do anything to get him fired.

The Special One is said to have learned of this hypothesis and returned the ring he received as a gift after defeating the Conference League, along with the following message for his former students.

“When you are men, pay me back.”
