The coach took four months to win over the fans, team and critics
ROME. Rome and Rome have found their own commander. Josè Mourinho took four months to win over everyone: fans, team and critics. Today they are all on the side of the former Tottenham. In fact, he had never started so well in his career, five victories in as many official matches on the yellow bench but the race under the South took care of the rest after the winning goal by El Shaarawy almost at the end against Sassuolo who gave the top of the table together with Napoli and Milan.
A gesture, that of the Roma coach, who went around the world. “No muscle injuries … the 1001 / a game will arrive soon” wrote the Special One on Instagram after posting the photo of the race to the South.
The euphoria in the city, meanwhile, rages and shows how within a few hours of the opening of the Rome-Udinese box office on 23 September, over 5,000 tickets have already been sold. Another sold out (always at 50% of the capacity) should arrive on Thursday for the debut in the group stage of the Conference League against CSKA Sofia.
Today the team will resume training in Trigoria after the day of relaxation granted by Mourinho to the team and in which Pellegrini took advantage of the baptism of his second son. In the next few days, however, there should be another meeting for the renewal of the Giallorossi captain until 2026. By now it seems a formality and Mourinho has already expressed himself in this regard. “Lorenzo will be our captain for many years”.
