Mourinho's managerial merry go round! Shock move to Roma could cause a domino effect in Serie A with Sarri waiting in the wings, Pirlo under pressure at Juventus, Gattuso heading for a Napoli exit, and more...

Two weeks after being axed by Tottenham, Jose Mourinho is back - and his return to Italy looks set to kickstart the beginning of managerial merry-go-round in Serie A.

Mourinho was announced as Roma's new manager on Tuesday after the club confirmed current boss Paulo Fonseca would leave his role at the end of the season.

The Portuguese coach is no stranger to Italian football, having won a stunning treble with Inter Milan in 2010. However, his appointment came as a surprise as former Chelsea and Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri had been the overwhelming favourite to land the job.
