Jose Mourinho has taken a £3.5m-a-year PAY CUT to join Roma as Portuguese boss sees his annual salary slashed from £10m at Tottenham to £6.5m in Italy after signing a three-year deal at the Stadio Olimpico

Jose Mourinho has taken a significant pay cut to become Roma's new manager, earning £3.5million-a-year less than he did at Tottenham.

Mourinho made a shock return to management on Tuesday with the Italian giants just weeks after being sacked by Spurs after a bitterly disappointing Premier League and Europa League campaign.

The 58-year-old former Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid manager will take over from Paulo Fonseca at the end of the season, signing a deal in Rome until 2024.
