Ex-Roma boss Eusebio Di Francesco praises Mourinho

Former Roma manager Eusebio Francesco praised Jose Mourinho for his ability to recreate enthusiasm among Giallorossi fans, leading them to two consecutive European finals.

In a recent interview with Tuttomercatoweb, Di Francesco said, “Mourinho put the Roma environment back together.”


“Perhaps he could have done more in the league but I think they have focused a lot on Europa League.”

“He proved to be an excellent technician and gave back the spark to a city I experienced first-hand, qualifying to a Champions League semi-final and I must say that if there had been VAR maybe we would be talking about something else.”
