As the bell rings in the early hours of June 1, this season's UEFA Europa League summit clash will take place, with Xavier taking on Roma. Rumor has it that if Roma fail to win the Cup, the 60-year-old Portuguese coach Molenu may immediately announce his departure, and even if he wins the Cup, he may still choose to leave, and this tournament may become the farewell performance of his career.
According to the Italian media, Roma has been determined not to be among the top four in Serie A. Molenu has decided to leave the team this summer. Given that he will be absent due to suspension in the Serie A finale, the UEFA Cup may be the last time he stands on the field as Roma's manager.
Despite the fact that winning the Europa League would qualify Roma for the next Champions League, Molenu's team has never been able to shake the Serie A giants, considering his two-year track record in charge. Due to Roma's lack of funds to bring in top players, it is expected that the team will still struggle to break through in the league next season, let alone compete for the Champions League title, so the "King of Inches" wants to terminate his contract a year early.
In fact, the reason why Molenu wants to leave Roma is largely due to the favor of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). There have been rumors that the Ligue 1 champions are planning to invite him to coach, and with PSG's financial strength, they can provide strong reinforcements for the "King of Inches" to compete for the Champions League trophy, which is very attractive to Molenu.
As for whether Molenu will be able to lead his team to win the Europa League and leave a good memory before leaving Roma, it will all be a suspense in the coming days.
