It’s impossible for Mourinho not to aim for the Scudetto at Roma
By db-admin
DBasia.news – The candidate for the Scudetto winner for the 2021-2022 Serie A season has now increased by one. Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma are now the favorites to participate in the title race.
Roma lost their status as title contenders in recent seasons. Il Giallorossi even struggled to just finish in the top four.
But Rome made a big breakthrough this summer. The Italian capital team had signed a coach of Jose Mourinho’s caliber.
Mourinho’s reputation as a world-class tactician may begin to fade. That’s after he failed to bring Tottenham Hotspur to success.
But Mourinho’s experience of bringing Inter to victory in Serie A attracted Roma’s interest. They believe it can happen again.
Signs of the seriousness of Rome to become a title challenger was immediately seen at the beginning of this season. Lorenzo Pellegrini and his team mates became one of five clubs who swept the first two matches with a win.
Support for Roma to compete for the Scudetto was even conveyed by former Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti. He was the one who appointed Mourinho as Nerazzurri coach in the summer of 2008.
“I follow the championship with great interest. Mourinho revived the competition, he started well,” Moratti told Radio Kiss Kiss.
“Serie A has one more team, Roma, who will be targeting the Scudetto. Someone like Mourinho is not after third place.”
This season is the best chance for Rome to win the title. Leading teams such as the Milan and Juventus duo are in limbo after being left behind by a number of stars.
