Italy Football world Cup: Return to Italy suits Mourinho, but Roma fans expect

Jose Mourinho and AS Roma seemed a good fit after the Portuguese's surprise appointment as the club's new manager, but a return to management won't be easy for a manager with something to prove. No break, I played soccer, was the short and pointed answer Mourinho gave reporters after being sacked by underperforming Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur 15 days ago, but few expected him to return so soon.

His quick return to management surprised everyone. Several Italian newspapers reported that Maurizio Sarri was being considered as the successor to the under-pressure Paulo Fonseca, without mentioning Mourinho.

But just hours after Roma confirmed that Fonseca would leave the club at the end of the season, Mourinho announced his return to Italy. The 58-year-old is expected to replace his compatriot from the 2021-22 season. At first glance, a return to Italy would suit Mourinho.

While his last three jobs in England saw him leave Chelsea FC in December 2015 as they slumped to 16th place, failed to revive Manchester United's fortunes, and were no match for Spurs, Mourinho has experienced nothing but success in Italy.

He led Inter Milan to an unprecedented treble in 2010 before moving to Real Madrid, where he is still highly regarded after such successful seasons.

 

The fans expect

But Mourinho doesn't have time to reacquaint himself with Italian soccer. Roma fans expect results and fast. Roma is a difficult club, former Roma manager Fabio Capello told La Stampa. To win, it's not enough to hire a great coach. You also need players.

But he (Mourinho) has excelled in the difficult places. For Roma fans' sake, I hope he does as well as he did at Inter. Roma, which has not won a league title since Capello took over in 2001, enjoyed a successful period between 2014 and 2018 when it finished just third in Serie A in five seasons.

But less than a year after coach Eusebio Di Francesco led Roma to the Champions League semifinals and third place in Serie A in the 2017-18 season, he was fired and the club was still outside the top four such was the expectation at the Stadio Olimpico.

There is also a strong media focus on the team, with a daily newspaper dedicated to Roma and dozens of radio stations whose sole purpose is to analyze every aspect of the club. Fonseca seems to be making progress at Roma, as his team has finished in the top four for much of the current season, and a return to the Champions League seems possible for the first time in three seasons.

However, Roma has won only one of its last eight games and has slipped in the standings as a result - a situation that ultimately cost Fonseca his job. Further poor finishes will not be tolerated. Mourinho comes with his reputation after recent defeats and Italy has given the Portuguese the best results in the past, but Roma presents a tough challenge.
