Jose Mourinho has agreed to become Roma coach from next season — saving Tottenham as much as £13million in the process. The north London club put Mourinho on gardening leave following his dismissal, essentially meaning Tottenham would continue to pay the Special One's salary every month. Sportsmail understands that Roma's emphatic 6-2 defeat by Manchester United in the Europa League last week speeded up the arrival of Mourinho. Club president Dan Friedkin and vice-president Ryan Friedkin said: 'We are thrilled and delighted to welcome Jose Mourinho into the AS Roma family. His appointment means a reunion with two of his former Manchester United players in Chris Smalling and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
