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.

His attitude is graceless, and he has so far been unable to find a reason for his teams’ poor start to the Serie A season. Just one point in the standings after three games, with six goals conceded and four scored.

The Giallorossi are already suffering a serious handicap to their rivals and Mourinho deserted his press conference press after his team's latest meltdown against AC Milan. The head coach chose to remain silent in front of the microphones after the defeat against the Rossoneri.
