This is Mourinho’s second stint as manager in Italy after the Portuguese won the treble- Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia with current Serie A champions Inter, in the year 2010. His spell at Roma would be an important one, not just for the club but also for himself, so that he can prove a point after getting fired by Tottenham Hotspur last season.
