Jose Mourinho will officially take office as Roma head coach starting next season.

On Tuesday, it became known that Jose Mourinho will replace Paulo Fonseca as coach of the Roman team. The Portuguese will sign a three-year contract and has already announced his ambitions and plans at his post.

First of all, Mourinho thanked the management and wished good luck to the current coach of the team,

“I thank the Friedkin family for choosing me to lead the team of this magnificent club and become a part of their plans. After meeting with the owners and CEO Tiago Pinto, I immediately understood the fullness of Roma's ambitions. These are the same ambitions and aspirations that have always motivated me, and together we want to build a successful project in the coming years.

At the same time, I wish Paulo Fonseca all the best and I hope that the media will appreciate that I will speak further, only later,” Mourinho said.

Roma have been trying to instill progressive attacking football in the team for many years. Combination and speed play was the foundational style of the Romans. Therefore, the club invited Spalletti, Di Francesco, Ranieri and Fonseca. The latter, by the way, proved to be excellent at Shakhtar, where the primary desire of the Roman functionaries in terms of the team's game was perfectly reflected.

Now Mourinho will come to them. The Portuguese argued that after coaching at Manchester United he reconsidered his views on football and promised Daniel Levy at Tottenham to deliver an attacking game even worse than Mauricio Pochettino. We all remember how the Special One ended in London.

You can develop demagoguery as much as you like, whether Jose left himself because of Tottenham's participation in the Super League or he was asked to, but the fact remains. The Portuguese has been fired and the only refuge where they are ready to accept him is Italy. The local teams have not achieved anything on the world stage for a long time, which means there was a demand for Mourinho. Another thing is that Roma almost reached an agreement with Maurizio Sarri, who has experience building an attacking game in Napoli.

This is a very strange decision at the last moment to replay everything and invite a coach with diametrically opposed values. And besides, who won the last significant trophy with Manchester United, taking the Europa League in 2017. As for us, this is another personnel failure of Roma and Mourinho's luck to make even more money for the subsequent dismissal. We think his agent worked as he should and the Portuguese’s contract is still delicious.
