Jose Mourinho, the former manager of Inter and Roma, talked candidly about a possible return to Serie A as well as other matters.

Jose Mourinho discussed his ideas on a potential comeback to Serie A in an interview with Corriere dello Sport, which was mediated by Gianluca Di Marzio. When asked if he would think about managing another Italian team, he said succinctly and clearly: “Of course I would return.”

After making it to the Europa League final in the 2022–2023 season and losing to Sevilla, the Special One disclosed a mistake he had committed during his time with Roma and chose to stay the following season.

Although Mourinho guided the Giallorossi to Conference League glory in their first season, the following year’s Europa League final went sour when they were defeated by the Spanish team on penalties, and the Portuguese coach received a four-match suspension. Regarding such, he stated: “I ought to have departed after Budapest. I didn’t go right away, not because of the mess Taylor created. I was incorrect to stay in Roma when I should have fled.

Edoardo Bove was complimented by Mourinho, who compared the player’s characteristics to his own. “Bove is like me,” said the current Fenerbahce manager. He didn’t get anything for nothing. Even if one of us is twenty and the other is sixty, our shared values are the reason he made his debut with me.
