He's just a manager who needs the utmost power at the club. Just like Pep and Klopp do actually.
In Jose's biggest successes he was the big fish and the main superstar of the project. Give him that and it's much less "toxic".
He has done very good work with the youth at Roma. The young Italian starters like Pellegrini, Mancini, Christante have improved drastically. Has made Zalewski a regular starter and Afena Gyan a good option. Turned Tammy into a beast.
He has also got a tune out of the experienced players. Infact with players he previously fell out with like Mkhitaryan and Smalling.
I think the board really messed up the window by being cheapstakes for the Xhaka deal(literally didn't pay 3 or 4 million more) while spending a lot on dross like Vina and Shomurodov. Patricio and Oliveira are very shrewd deals.
He also has Spinazzola yet to come back who is an amazing player when fit. He's shown great patience with Zaniolo(so talented) who's incredibly frustrating with his end product and behavior(picking up cards needlessly) but I think it might be time to cash in on him and get 50 million.
At Roma, Mourinho is the big fish and no one will question/undermine him for no reason, which is how it should be. Even in the 2 strongest teams right now, Pep and Klopp have all the authority. That's the recipe for a healthy club in 2022. Period.
