Roma coach, Jose Mourinho said with 12 points clear, Napoli have already won the Italian Serie A title. Napoli, whose 11 game unbeaten streak ended with their 1-0 loss to Inter on January 4, will host Roma, a game Luciano Spalletti knows he must win to keep their title hopes intact. Victor Osimhen continues to lead Napoli’s charge with 13 goals to his credit and topping the goal scorers chart. The Super Eagles top striker will be aiming to carry on with his wish of winning a title with Napoli by scoring against Mournho’s side. “I say Napoli have already won the Scudetto, deservedly, so I congratulate them. They are an excellent team with a great coach, sit 12 points clear with nobody who can frighten them. The Scudetto is theirs,” said Mourinho. “If you ask me will Roma get out of their way, I say no, we go there trying to get a result, but that doesn’t change the fact they have already won the Scudetto.” Mourinho has been in Italy long enough to know the Neapolitans are traditionally very superstitious and will hate hearing that the title is already locked down, especially with so long to go in the season, so this was something of a mind game from the Special One.
Meanwhile Mourinho is keen on a return to London, where his wife and children still live, according to reports in the UK. And his representatives have been in contact with Chelsea and let it be known that his preferred scenario would be returning to the west London outfit for a third time in his career. Under the Portuguese coach’s guidance, the Blues have won three Premier League titles across two spells, as well as three League Cups and one FA Cup.
