Aye, Italians in general are also not as demanding of “free flowing attacking football” as some other nations are which makes a big difference to how Mourinho is perceived.
It might be a third rate European trophy to us Manchester United fans but it wasn’t to Roma fans which is why thousands of them lined the street for a parade to celebrate it. It’s a big deal to them as is reaching two European finals compared to a manager who didn’t.
Previous managers departure wasn’t that straight forward either . New owners, think his contract was up too. So it was more a change of direction. And they’re clearly very happy with the direction Mourinho has them in despite what a lot in this thread post and that was my underlying point rwally
