Fans React As Roma Announce Shock Mourinho Appointment

Published

on

It’s official. Jose Mourinho has been named the manager of Serie A club AS Roma starting from the 2021-22 campaign, the club confirmed via its social media channels.

Mourinho was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur only a couple of weeks ago following a rough seventeen-month spell in North London. While there were some positives during his time, the manner in which the club crashed out of the Europa League and the decline in form in the Premier League since December meant that the Portuguese was shown the doors.

Speaking in a recent interview, Mourinho had hinted that he would be taking a short break from management. However, turns out that will not be the case as he is set to return to Italy as the manager of AS Roma, starting from the 2021/22 season. A report from Goal.com claims that the former Real Madrid and Tottenham manager has signed a three-year deal with the Giallorossi.

The former Manchester United boss has been announced as the new manager of Roma just hours after Paulo Fonseca was relieved of his duties.

Despite the fact Mourinho has spent the best part of the last two decades bouncing around some of Europe’s biggest clubs, it still came as a bit of a shock when Roma announced the news.

However, fans have expressed their shock  on Mourinho’s sudden announcement as Roma manager.

Incredible. He just bounces from job to job based on reputations nowadays with huge pay offs to boot ? https://t.co/6G0tNa0qhp

Mourinho was flooding his instagram page with Throwback pictures for two weeks after leaving Spurs. I thought he was down bad. The man posted his way into a job. What a finesse.

The majority of us have all spent at least one point in our lives desperately trying to find a new job for one reason or another, yet Mourinho has managed to land a job as manager of one of Serie A’s biggest clubs in the space of a matter of weeks!

What could possibly have meant he was so desperate to get back into work?

Alright, enough Mourinho bashing (for now).

Mourinho is the shot in the arm the Serie A needs desperately needs. Global interest about to go a 1000%. Today is a good day for country of Italy.

Right, there you go, we told you we’d offer the plus side of the argument – three tweets is your lot.

Now, back to the funny side which is the bit where he’s basically going to fall out with every member of his squad within six months before being offered a £15m pay off.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but this time it’ll take about 6 months to dismantle

It’s only natural that everyone’s going to have their own opinions on a character as controversial as Mourinho, but whether it’s a controversial appointment or not, a new man through the door at any club will always have ramifications for their existing squad.

Roma’s is certainly no different…

Zidane Will Join Man United, Says Baptista

Published

on

Former Brazil international, Julio Baptista has backed former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane to eventually take over at Manchester United.

Man United are currently managed by Erik ten Hag, who is facing an uncertain future after a tough season.

After finishing third last season, winning the Carabao Cup and reaching the FA Cup final, Ten Hag’s side have had 16 defeats across competitions this campaign.


However, Zidane has been touted as one of the options for the Red Devils’ hot seat at Old Trafford.

“Zidane was the best player I have ever played with,” Baptista told Ladbrokes (via Metro).

“Playing with him and sharing a dressing room with him was very special. He is one the best in the world.


“I think he will be a Premier League manager someday. He is an incredible coach, with amazing experience having won the Champions League, so I can see that happening. I can see him going to Manchester United.

Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich At War Over New Contract

Published

on

Nedal Huoseh, agent of the Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies, has lamented the treatment he is currently receiving from the club.

The Canada international is widely regarded as one of the best full-backs in the world, and one of the best North American players of all time.

Huoseh criticised Bayern Munich in comments made to BILD and relayed by football expert Fabrizio Romano.

Davies has a verbal agreement to join Real Madrid either this summer or next according to The Athletic.

In recent weeks, however, the Bavarians have put pressure on Davies’ camp to renew a deal that expires on June 30, 2025.

Over at MARCA, they say that the Bundesliga giants have told Davies to commit his future to them immediately or be sold in the next transfer window.

Davies’ agent Huoseh, told BILD: “It’s unfair to receive an ultimatum from Bayern. We will decide how to proceed at the end of the season when there is more clarity.

“It’s unfair that Alphonso is now being attacked.

“We were close to an agreement a year ago. Then the entire club management was replaced. We didn’t hear anything for seven months. Although, I tried during this time to contact the club myself.


“Now we are being given an ultimatum and are supposed to react within two weeks because the club is under pressure and took a long time to reposition itself in the management. That’s not fair.

“It’s a very important contract in Alphonso’s career and we’re supposed to make the decision without knowing who the coach will be next season or what the team looks like. That’s why we think it’s unfair to react to the ultimatum.”
