Jose Mourinho is set to join Serie A side, AS Roma on a three-year contract.

According to Giallorossi’s website he is expected to join the club at the end of the season.

Recall, Mourinho was fired as Spurs boss after a string of poor results that all but ruled out the North London side from a highly coveted top-4 finish.

Mourinho will replace his fellow Portuguese compatriot, Paulo Fonseca who will step down at the end of the 2020/2021 Serie A season after joining Roma in 2019.

The statement read in part: “AS Roma are delighted to announce an agreement has been reached with Jose Mourinho to become the club’s new head coach.

“Jose Mourinho has agreed to a three-year contract with the Giallorossi that will run until 30 June 2024.

“He will begin his new role ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

“We are thrilled and delighted to welcome Jose Mourinho into the AS Roma family,” club president Dan Friedkin and vice-president Ryan Friedkin said.

“A great champion who has won trophies at every level, Jose will provide tremendous leadership and experience to our ambitious project.

“The appointment of Jose is a huge step in building a long-term and consistent winning culture throughout the club.”

Mourinho, 58, is one of the most successful coaches in the history of the sport – having won 25 major trophies in his career to date.

The list of clubs he has previously managed includes FC Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
