José Mourinho was announced as Paulo Fonseca’s successor as Roma coach, starting next season.
Shortly after announcing the departure of Paulo Fonseca at the end of the season, Roma announced that it will be another Portuguese to lead the team, thus enabling José Mourinho to return to Italy.
The Portuguese coach was fired from Tottenham on April 19 and is already working as a commentator on British radio TalkSport.
According to the Roman club, Mourinho will sign a contract until June 2024.
«We are very happy and excited to welcome José Mourinho to the AS Roma family. Mourinho is a champion who has won trophies at all levels and will guarantee extraordinary leadership and experience for our ambitious project. Hiring represents a major step forward in building a winning, solid and lasting mentality in our Club », refer President Dan Friedkin and Vice President Ryan Friedkin.
