Roma vs. Juve, Inter, Milan and (hipster favorite) Dortmund
Sure Roma is not a huge team but it's not like he's coming over from Real Madrid, he was at Tottenham
1 more league title than Spurs doesn't really represent the huge history you're implying.
They have a bigger ground that is an absolute shyt hole, one they have been trying to leave for years but can't because they're broke. Juve's may be smaller in capacity but it's a modern stadium.
You brehs are stuck in the past and don't understand the new financial reality.
Roma is a middling Italian club today and its absolutely fitting for current Mourinho to end up there.

You know what we mean
People showing their lack of knowledge.
It wasn't always like it is now. There used to be three Eufa comps (all with prestige) and teams like Roma, Ajax etc had their own greats and were superior to teams these new-lings worship.

Moving from a top 6 Premier League club to Roma is absolutely a step down.
more coli classics ..
and I suppose you think Chelsea were a bigger team than Roma when Jose took over in 2004.
NEWSFLASH - Jose has only ever been at two massive clubs .. Real and Man Utd. Reason? There aren't that many clubs of that size.
His other jobs have been around the Roma level - i.e. Spurs, Porto - with Inter, Chelsea a little bit above that.
That is how it is for coaches who manage lots of European clubs - see Ancelotti, Robson, Hitzfeld, Hiddink, LvG etc etc. That is how it has been for decades.
Those who work their way up and stay at the most powerful clubs are few and far between (Zidane, SAF, Pep so far etc) and they are very much the exceptions.
As a normal-lish human being Jose (and people like him) are unlikely to find the constraints of Germany to their liking so that leaves three big leagues and a handful of teams in each tier.
Stick to NFL / Basketball

Not when the top 6 PL club is SpursMoving from a top 6 Premier League club to Roma is absolutely a step down.
Maybe the other 5 teams yeah but not Spurs sorry
good to see Jose back in Serie A.
wrong team though, that Roma squad is a nice footballing team with potential that's weakness is that they get done on the counter.
funny enough, he would work wonders with that rugged, older Lazio team.
