And this is the only thing that counts - how he is perceived by Roma fans, and it's crystal clear their opinion on how Jose is doing in Rome is very much different from United fans who hate Jose with passion and who don't give a feck about Roma or Serie A. Although it is very funny to see people so blinded by their hatred for the man that they are convinced they know better than Roma supporters if Jose is appreciated or not.Aye, Italians in general are also not as demanding of “free flowing attacking football” as some other nations are which makes a big difference to how Mourinho is perceived.
It might be a third rate European trophy to us Manchester United fans but it wasn’t to Roma fans which is why thousands of them lined the street for a parade to celebrate it. It’s a big deal to them as is reaching two European finals compared to a manager who didn’t.
Previous managers departure wasn’t that straight forward either . New owners, think his contract was up too. So it was more a change of direction. And they’re clearly very happy with the direction Mourinho has them in despite what a lot in this thread post and that was my underlying point rwally
