The return of Jose Mourinho to Serie A has been greeted with great fanfare in Italy, as sports newspapers herald his return.

AS Roma announced on Tuesday afternoon that the 58-year-old will be replacing Pailo Fonseca this summer after agreeing a three-year deal, in what is a swift return to management having been sacked by Tottenham only last month.

It signals the Portuguese head coach's first stint in Italy since leaving Inter in 2010 having guided them to an historic treble.
