Jose Mourinho’s contract with Italian side, AS Roma, took the football world by surprise when it was announced by the Serie A club on Tuesday.
Only hours before, Roma had announced that long-serving, Portuguese coach, Paulo Fonseca, would be leaving at the end of the current campaign.
Last month, 58-year-old Mourinho was sacked as Tottenham’s coach after a 17-month checkered stint at the London-based club.
Roma will be the tenth club that ‘The Special One’ will manage and the second in Italy, having guided Inter to successive league titles in his two campaigns at the helm and the Champions League title in 2010.
