When Paulo Dybala touched down in Rome last summer to complete his acrimonious exit from Juventus, Jose Mourinho understood how the Argentine was feeling. He, too, was in need of a fresh start after his ill-fated spell at Tottenham.
Roma offered Mourinho a sanctuary in the wake of his third managerial spell in London, with several fans doubting the serial winner after his failed pursuit of silverware at Spurs.
While Juventus saw Dybala as a problem to solve towards the end of his seven-year spell in Turin, Mourinho welcomed him with open arms, delighted to have a player with genuine star quality among his ranks.
