At the end of 2019, Ancelotti left Naples and was soon re-employed in Everton, Premier League. A generation of famous coaches can only bow to small clubs. At that time, many people thought that his coaching career was basically like this.
To the surprise of many people, in the summer of 2021, Real Madrid took out the termination money and poached Ancelotti from Everton. A year later, An Shuai, wearing sunglasses and holding a cigar, led the whole team of Real Madrid to tour Madrid by an open-top bus to celebrate winning the 14th Champions League trophy in the team’s history.
Earlier this year, some media broke the news that the Brazilian Football Association intended to invite Ancelotti to take charge. A handsome man is a handsome man. Whenever you think he is dying, he can always give you a little surprise.
Mourinho’s trajectory in the past two years is actually a bit like that of Ancelotti. Some people think that coaching Tottenham Hotspur and Rome is the low point of his coaching career, but his achievements in Eternal City have hit many skeptics’ faces.
In Italy, there are far fewer media reports on Mourinho than in England. He is not impeccable, but the outside world usually regards him as a problem solver, not a problem maker. Italy respects Jose Mourinho, and his position is unparalleled among today’s Serie A coaches.
In 2010, Mourinho led Inter Milan to win the Triple Crown and left Serie A.. From then on until his return, the Italian club never won the European championship.
Last season, Mu Shuai broke the championship drought. Some people-especially Lazio executives-may say: What kind of honor is the Europa League?
But there is an Italian proverb that says words are light and will be blown away by the wind. The trophy is real. It’s the first championship trophy in Rome in 14 years. This trophy is very important for Roman fans who are eager to celebrate.
Mourinho helped Roman fans regain their pride and confidence. They returned to the Olympic Stadium in droves, and tickets for every game in Rome were sold out. Today, Mourinho has a supreme position in the hearts of Roman fans, which fills the gap left by Totti’s retirement to some extent.
Mu Shuai is in high spirits, but the club is crushed to death by FFP and can’t afford to meet his requirements for strengthening the lineup. If Mourinho finally leaves Rome because of this, it will be hard for fans to accept.
The hole dug by Meng Qi was too big, and Rome was absent from the Champions League all the year round, so the financial situation was extremely difficult. This season, several reinforcements they brought in-Dibala, wijnaldum, Ma Diqi and Belloti-were either visa-free or rented.
"(This season) only Sampdoria and Lecce spend less than us." Mourinho said. Winter window, Rome sold Zaniolo; Summer window, they have to continue to sell people to cash out.
However, Rome’s record has not declined. Last season, they were the sixth in Serie A; At present, they rank fourth in Serie A standings, three points ahead of Milan, which ranks fifth. Yesterday, in the second round of the Europa League quarter-final, they played with great excitement and made a strong reversal of Feyenoord and advanced.
In the last round of Serie A, Juve and Inter both lost, and Milan was tied by Bologna. Mu Shuai led the team to win Udinese 3-0, and grabbed the precious 3 points. Young Bolai started the game and Abraham came off the bench to end the scoring drought. Mourinho is really a master in balancing the league and the European war.
This year, Rome has completed 13 clean sheets in various competitions, and Mourinho has put his own brand on this team. They won’t lose easily, but they can also fight hard, beat Juventus and Inter Milan, and chase after two goals in the San Siro to draw Milan.
Last week, Cassano, an old Roman general, criticized Mourinho’s football as ugly, saying that he won the championship because of his platform and luck.
After that, Mu Shuai personally demonstrated to the old department how to fight: "Cassano played in the three clubs I coached, at different times." In Madrid, everyone only remembers his jacket. In Rome, he only won the Super Cup once, and he didn’t even play in that game. You all know what I have achieved at Real Madrid, Rome and Inter Milan. "
Mu Shuai’s team is very similar to him and very aggressive. Players question every decision of the referee and often fly with a yellow card. The whole coaching staff is not easy to mess with. Mu Shuai and other coaches have got 11 red cards this season! Recently, he recreated the classic handcuff gesture of Inter Milan, suggesting that someone was targeting himself.
Rome has hardened, and most Roman fans are satisfied with it. Mourinho also caught the "mole" in Rome, but it was different from that in the Premier League-afterwards, the players still served him and respected him, and the team continued to make progress.
Mourinho also had dark moments in Rome-for example, he was killed by Lazio this season and put on any other coach, which was a disastrous result. However, the fans and the team still support Mu Shuai.
Will he stay in Rome in the future? Mu Shuai himself has never expressed his position. Recently, berardi, former CEO of Rome, said he believed Mourinho would stay with the team.
"That’s what he said," Mourinho responded. "According to the contract, I still have one year. That’s the case. Football is football. Sometimes the contract is not the most important thing. "
Whether Mourinho can stay in the team depends on how Rome’s final results are this season and what plans the club has for the new season. But now Mu Shuai’s "market" is bullish again, and his wait-and-see attitude is understandable.
Both Real Madrid and PSG may have to change coaches, and florentino likes to "go back to the grass" when choosing coaches. Like Ancelotti the year before last, Mourinho also has a chance to return to the giants. Don’t talk about a comeback, Mu Shuai has always been Mu Shuai.
