Antonio Cassano, a former player for Real Madrid and AS Roma, claims Jose Mourinho’s career as a coach is now completely over.
After firing Mourinho in the middle of January, Daniele De Rossi, a former player, took over at Roma.
Cassano accused the Portuguese of not progressing in his most recent critique of them.
The former Italy international slammed the two-time UEFA Champions League winning coach for preferring certain players over others while at Roma.
“As a coach, Mourinho is now completely finished,” the 41-year-old said as a guest on RAI programme La Domenica Sportiva via Football Italia
“He is not capable of coaching anymore, he is still doing the same things as 10 years ago.
“He wouldn’t play Paredes and preferred Bove to Pellegrini. De Rossi gave Roma the belief that this is a strong team, he’s doing an extraordinary job. He was always destined for this.”
Cassano also berated Juventus head coach Maximiliano Allegri.
“When he says Juve ought to finish fourth, it’s a laughing stock. Just look at Bologna, they play marvellous football and spent about €1.50.
“Milan won the Scudetto with Krunic, Bennacer, Calabria and Kalulu, but Juve had a stronger squad that year. Napoli gave away three first-choice players, they signed Kvaratskhelia, Anguissa and went 20 points clear.”
