There is a possibility that Jose Mourinho could bring Cristiano Ronaldo to AS Roma, according to legendary Italian striker Christian Vieri. Jose Mourinho was officially appointed as head coach of AS Roma to replace Paulo Fonseca. He is contracted until 2024.
The Portuguese tactician will start his duties as the “herdsman” of the Capital Wolves in the 2020-2021 season. This is Mourinho’s second chance to train in Italy. Previously, he coached Inter Milan (2008-2010).
Mourinho’s big name will become a magnet for Europe’s top players to work with him at AS Roma. It is possible that Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo will reunite with Mourinho. The two were once united at Real Madrid (2010-2013).
According to the former Italian national team striker Christian Vieri, this possibility could happen. Mourinho could have brought Ronaldo to Rome. “Mourinho wants to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to Rome, said Vieri on Bobo TV, Tuesday (1/6/2021).
However, Vieri’s “wild “thinking was considered absurd by Antonio Cassano. Former Real Madrid bomber and AS Roma considered that it was impossible for Ronaldo to go with Mourinho to Rome. “Ronaldo to Rome? That’s bullshit,” said Cassano refuting Vieri’s opinion.
“Mourinho doesn’t get along with Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. How do you think he will go to Rome?”, he added. “I don’t know if it’s because they have the same agent, Jorge Mendes, or the Portuguese sporting director, but how can you think Cristiano went to Rome?” said Cassano.
Cristiano Ronaldo is rumored to be leaving Juventus in the summer. The news of his departure grew stronger because the Bianconeri were unable to defend the Italian League title. Juve have high expectations for him as they have poured a lot of money for CR7.
Rumors grew louder when Massimiliano Allegri was again appointed to lead I Bianconeri. The relationship between the two is reportedly also not harmonious since they first worked together for a season in 2018-2019.
In fact, Allegri also criticized Ronaldo’s performance after Juventus were eliminated from the Champions League this season. “Get rid of Cristiano Ronaldo. He is hindering Juventus’ growth,” Allegri was quoted by La Repubblica newspaper.
However, it looks like Ronaldo is going nowhere this year. This cannot be separated from the statement of Ronaldo’s lover, Georgina Rodriguez. “Ronaldo will stay,” said Georgina Rodriguez quoted from Football Italia.
