Mourinho admits he’d return to Italy to celebrate title with one team
José Mourinho admits he would even ‘go to the Circo Massimo’ to celebrate the Serie A title with Roma, but ‘unfortunately’, only Milan, Inter and Napoli will fight for the Scudetto.
Benfica coach Mourinho admits he’d return to Italy to celebrate the Serie A title with Roma fans.
The former Inter and Roma boss was asked his thoughts on the Scudetto race at a post-match press conference last night, after a 2-0 win over Napoli in the Champions League, and, as usual, his reply was very honest.
Mourinho’s Serie A title prediction
“It’s tough. Inter have a top team and great potential, same as Napoli. Milan play once a week. They have a fantastic coach like Max [Allegri], who can coach in a way that Antonio [Conte] and Cristian [Chivu] can’t because they have many games to play,” Mourinho argued.
“Unfortunately, I think it will be among these three.”
Mourinho has made history with Inter, winning the treble in 2010 with Chivu in his team, so he felt he had to explain why he said ‘unfortunately.’
Mourinho supports Roma in Serie A title race
“I’d love it, and I’d even go to the Circo Massimo, but I don’t think so.”
The Circo Massimo is the place where Roma fans usually gather every time the team wins a trophy.
Mourinho knows how it feels to win for the Giallorossi, having lifted the Conference League in 2022.
