Vernon Hargreaves III Jersey most recognisable teams in Serie A, with the Italian side always in and around the top six.However, it wasnt long ago that Roma were one of the contenders for a Serie A title.From 2014/15 to 2017/18, Roma finished in the top three each year and gave Juventus a fairly decent run for their money.However, in recent years, Roma have finished sixth, fifth and are very likely to outside the top six this season.New ownersFriedkin Group are now looking to bring back the glory days.Who are theFriedkin Group?Led byDan Friedkin, the Friedkin group

Trae Waynes Jersey has a knack for winning trophies wherever he goes.Having failed to impre s in north London, Mourinho still guided Spurs to a cup final but was sacked before the clash with Manchester City.Mourinho has won 25 trophies during his time in management, with five of those coming in Italy with Inter Milan.The legendary treble manager was crowned Serie A champion twice, while also winning a Coppa Italia trophy and aSupercoppa Italiana.While that was over 10 years now, the point still stands that wherever Mourinho goes, there is a strong po sibility that trophies will follow.Mourinho also largely fits the mould for a Roma manager, and the two could be a good fit for each other.What players could Mourinho call upon next season?Romas current squad are largely made up of players Mourinho will know from his days in the Premier League.Chris Smalling and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both played for Mourinho during his time at Manchester United, while the Portuguese coach signed Pedro in 2015 while at Chelsea.Edin Dzeko, Davide Santon andFederico Fazio all also have Premier League experience.However, a large number of Romas players are only on loan deals, meaning several key players will return to their parent clubs in the summer.While its hard to say which players Mourinho would like to keep hold of this summer, it is likely that at least some of Romas loan players will return next season.Nicol Zaniolo is likely to be Mourinhos

Mourinho brings with him experience of

Juventus, meanwhile, no longer look invincible after Inter Milan beat them to the Serie A title for the first time since Mourinho was in charge at the San Siro. Some may doubt that Mourinho could ever get back to his former glory, and they would have good reason to believe that. However, on paper, Roma looks the perfect fit for the legendary Portuguese manager and there could be an exciting future ahead for the Gialloro si.
