Jose Mourinho will become the new Roma head coach on a three-year deal at the start of next season. This latest move for the Portuguese manager comes just two weeks since being sacked by Tottenham after only 17 months in charge of the north-Londoners.
Mourinhoβs move to the Italian capital will be his second spell in Serie A, having spent two campaigns with Inter Milan where he won the treble before joining Real Madrid in 2010.
