Few people would have predicted that Jose Mourinho would reenter the world of management as soon as he did, and perhaps even fewer would have guessed that he’d end up at AS Roma.
Nevertheless, the Portuguese boss has made the decision to take over in the Italian capital at the beginning of next season, and if reports from the continent are to be believed, he wants to take some familiar faces with him.
Corriere dello Sport report that Mourinho has his eye on one Chelsea defender in particular, and even goes as far as to suggest that he has been a target for the 58-year-old at both Manchester United and Tottenham previously.
Whether or not he will be reunited with his old boss on the continent remains to be seen, however.
