Italian club AS Roma has named Jose Mourinho, as its new manager on a three-year contract.
The former Tottenham coach has signed until June 2024.
The 58-year-old has made a swift return to management after being sacked by Tottenham just 15 days ago.
A brief Roma statement said, “The club are delighted to announce an agreement has been reached with Jose Mourinho for him to become our new head coach ahead of the 2021-22 season.”
Mourinho, who has won league titles in England, Spain and Italy, will be part of talkSPORT’s coverage of Euro 2020 this summer.
He said, “Thank you to the Friedkin family for choosing me to lead this great club and to be part of their vision.
“After meetings with the ownership and Tiago Pinto, I immediately understood the full extent of their ambitions for AS Roma. It is the same ambition and drive that has always motivated me and together we want to build a winning project over the upcoming years.
“The incredible passion of the Roma fans convinced me to accept the job and I cannot wait to start next season.
“In the meantime, I wish Paulo Fonseca all the best and I hope the media appreciate that I will only speak further in due course. Daje Roma!”
