Now AS Roma will have to be prepared to spend a lot of money on the squad.
Despite having the advantage that because of Covid-19, the price of the players has dropped.
But it is good to make purchases before Euro 2021, because after that, the value of some players may go up.
I don't think AS Roma director board will readily to spend much bigger transfer fund for the club just because they sign a contract with Mourinho. They might have some new contracts and transfer fund might increase a little but not too bigger than in recent seasons.
I personally do not believe Mou can lead AS Roma to the top of the Serie A standings next season or it will be a mess like the previously coached teams which ended in dismissal. Even so, hopefully the choice made by AS Roma to bring in Mou is the right choice considering the competition in Serie A is getting tougher and many other teams who are also all strong teams in Serie A, this will be a more competitive competition.
Mourinho have great skills and I think his core tactic is matched with the traditional Catenaccio tactic in Serie A. The big problem for Mourinho is his past bad relation with media in Italy.
You are right that the competition in Serie A is very tight with the come back from two Milan teams in past 2 seasons. AS Roma have to fight against four or five clubs: Atalanta, Napoli, Lazio and Juventus.
I agree with you, when Mou still has the tendency to build a club instantly like at Chelsea, MU, Madrid, then being coach of Roma will not be much different from when he was coach of Tottenham before. Roma are also classified as a mid club, which have never bought or sold players at fantastic prices. So, Mou's challenge to become Roma coach is to ensure that he can increase the potential of existing players and increase the solidity of the game. because to buy an expensive player, it looks like Roma will not be easily realized.
He can do it better. In Spurs, in his first press conference as a coach, he was very friendly and things were smooth for him and Spurs in first half of season. In Spurs, there are some great stars but in Roma, there are not great starts. Mourinho can build up a team like he did with FC Porto in early of his career.
AS Roma appoints Jose Mourinho as their new manager next season.
Manager and coach are different. In modern football, what we usually see are coaches, not managers. In history, there are very few managers: Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are managers.
Recent decades, coaches don't have decisions on player transfers because clubs nowadays have Sport directors. Managers have rights for tactics and transfers of clubs they are working for.
