Sven-Goran Eriksson believes new Roma head coach Jose Mourinho will do well “for the first and second year” as he highlighted the Portuguese’s third-season woes, while warning of the demands in the Italian capital.
Former Inter coach Mourinho will return to Serie A in 2021-22 after being appointed by Roma following his Tottenham sacking in April.
Mourinho, who guided Inter to an unprecedented treble in 2009-10, replaces Paulo Fonseca in Rome, where Roma have not won the Serie A since 2001.
Eriksson knows the Giallorossi well, having spent three years in charge – winning the 1986 Coppa Italia, and the former England boss discussed life in Rome as Mourinho prepares to lead Roma.
“I want to build a team that shares these principles – a team that the fans can be proud of.”
