‘Mou for life.’ Many fans are calling for this reality on social media, especially after the Special One’s show over the weekend.
It may seem like an exaggerated request, but publics opinion is clear; they want Mourinho to extend his contract at the ‘Capitale.’ For some days now, Mourinho’s stay in Rome, beyond the expiration of his contract, has gained some optimism and is now becoming a real possibility.
MOURINHO’S CONTRACT RENEWAL NOW A POSSIBILITY
The Friedkins have now opened the door to a contract renewal after an initial period of frost between the parties. What convinced them were the team’s results, but above all, the attitude of the environment and the opportunity to have a leader in a moment of economic transition. Aspects that have often made a difference in the choice of the American ownership.
Mourinho has everybody’s support in Rome; the team is with him, and now even Pinto(the Sporting Director) seems to have found harmony with the coach, understanding his difficulties in maneuvering with a team like Roma.
Mourinho’s recent statements are relaxing towards the club, which by Christmas intends to meet the Portuguese to clarify some important points for a possible renewal, which should be for 2 more years.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Firstly, there’s the management’s support for Mourinho’s media battles. The coach appreciated Pinto’s intervention on Sunday but would also like a more prominent figure alongside him in terms of media presence.
Then there’s the transfer market. Mou knows that Roma has certain financial limitations, but he would like to have more power in the choices regarding the football aspects and to be able to keep the current big players in the squad, including Lukaku and Dybala.
Lastly, but it seems the least important, the economic aspect. Mourinho is not yet inclined to move to Saudi Arabia, where they are willing to offer him ‘the moon’, but at the same time he does not expect cuts to his current salary which is worth around €7.5 million.
