I am not here on holiday.” Mourinho’s appointment was met with euphoria by Roma fans, who hope that the man who led Inter Milan to a stunning treble in 2009-10 can bring them back to the top of Italian football and end a trophy drought stretching back to the 2007-08 Coppa Italia. We want to be financially sustainable and we are on the same page.” Mourinho was sacked by Tottenham in April, a week before its League Cup final defeat to Manchester City.
