Moratti: “Mourinho would like to coach Napoli. If it happens, it would drive Napoli fans crazy.”

The former Inter president talks about the coach with whom he won the Treble, fresh from his divorce from Roma: “He always brings the fans enthusiasm and hope.”

Jose Mourinho’s coaching style, communicative approach, and ability to create empathy with the environment and fans are well-known to all. However, if there’s someone who perhaps knows him a bit better than others. Massimo Moratti, the former Inter president, speaking on Radio Kiss Kiss, discussed the coach with whom he made history in 2010 by winning the historic Treble. Mourinho, recently released from his duties at Roma, has been linked to Napoli, while Moratti “endorses” the idea: “It would drive all the fans crazy; he always brings enthusiasm and hope,” he said.

The Future of Mourinho after Roma

Talks about Mourinho’s future began immediately after Roma announced his dismissal. Market rumors have speculated about a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia, but staying in Serie A is not ruled out. Napoli, currently seeking stability and results under Mazzarri, is clearly looking for a strong name to rebuild next summer, and the “Prophet of Setubal” is a name that’s circulating (to the extent that a meeting between the coach, who prefers to remain in Italy, and the Napoli president is already reportedly scheduled for the next week).

Mourinho, Napoli, and De Laurentiis

Massimo Moratti, who knows Mourinho well, gives his opinion on the matter: “He would be pleased to coach Napoli because it’s an important city with an important project.” Regarding a potential relationship with Aurelio De Laurentiis, the former Inter president doesn’t speculate: “I don’t know him very well; I couldn’t say if he would get along with Mourinho. Mourinho’s specialty is being a serious professional, knowing everything about his team, and being a great football enthusiast,” he said.
