Jose Mourinho's Roma adventure starts this week and the former Manchester United manager has named some familiar faces as part of his backroom staff.
Mourinho was the boss at Old Trafford between 2016 and December 2018 where he won the Community Shield, League Cup and Europa League before getting sacked after falling out with the board over transfer targets and a string of poor results.
He's since been in charge of Premier League rivals Tottenham where he lasted less than two years before agreeing to take over at Roma for the upcoming 2021/22 season.
With pre-season set to begin, the Serie A giants have revealed who will make up the backroom staff of 'The Special One' and there are some names that United fans may recognise.
Carlos Lalin, Giovanni Cerra and Stefano Rapetti will all be reunited in Rome, taking up similar roles that they held at Old Trafford.
Lalin is a fitness coach who worked with Mourinho at Chelsea, Inter Milan and Tottenham too, while Cerra is an analyst originally from Rome who has worked with Mourinho at all his English clubs.
Rapetti is a fitness coach who won the treble with Mourinho at Inter Milan and also worked alongside him at Manchester United, but was most recently at Torino and AC Milan under Marco Giampaolo.
Assistant coach Joao Sacramento and goalkeeper coach Nuno Santos have followed the Portuguese boss from north London while he is also reunited with analyst Michele Salzarulo from his previous stint in Italy to complete his staff.
