Will Jose Mourinho’s third season curse strike again at Roma?

Jose Mourinho’s Roma have endured a miserable start to the Serie A season, with the Giallorossi occupying a place in the bottom three after earning a single point from their opening three matches.

Mourinho’s side had opened the season with a home draw against Salernitana, before suffering defeats against Hellas Verona and AC Milan. The slow start has led to concerns Mourinho’s third season curse could strike again.

The Portuguese coach was sacked by Manchester United and Chelsea – in his second spell – during his third season in charge.

Tensions had bubbled to the surface at the same stage during his initial period at Stamford Bridge and when he oversaw Real Madrid.
