Mourinho to Roma: the last challenge of the Special One

And then suddenly: José Mourinho is the new coach of Roma. So, surprisingly, “de botto” would say the Giallorossi. There is the official press release of the company, there are the first declarations of the Special One, indeed of the former Special One, because in recent times his career has derailed a bit.

It is as if history were re-tying its threads. Two days ago, Inter won the Scudetto, eleven years after the triplete epic of 2010, with Mourinho leading a team that has remained in the legend.

And today comes this announcement. Back to the past. In a club – Roma – which is sadly closing this championship (currently 7th) and which has already officially exonerated the current coach, the Portuguese Paulo Fonseca.

The Portuguese signed a three-year contract. “I thank the Friedkin family for choosing me to lead this great club and for making me part of their vision, “said Mourinho,” together we want to build a winning path in the years to come. The incredible passion of the Roma fans convinced me to accept the job and I can’t wait to start next season ». Mou closed his message with the most classic of the Giallorossi incitements. “Gives Roma!“. Proof that – quoting his first sentence when he arrived at Inter – he is not an idiot. Because Mou has this extraordinary thing: it ignites the spark of passion, creates identity, a sense of belonging. It will be the same in Rome, with the fans who in these hours – on social media – are going crazy with joy.

«José is a champion who has won trophies at every level and will guarantee extraordinary leadership and experience for our ambitious project, ”said the president of Rome, the American tycoon Dan Friedkin. the negotiations were led by Tiago Pinto, General Manager of the Rome Sports Area. It was he who convinced Mourinho.

And Mou took the ball. For him it is an opportunity to get back in the game, after last week’s sacking which ended his unhappy parenthesis at Tottenham. This has been a decade stingy with satisfactions; but the restart with Rome may be the last big chance of one of the greatest and most successful 2.0 coaches, a man who divides: either with him or against him, without middle ground, without compromise.
