He would hope his award will spur his charges on as they bid to continue their purple patch start to the ongoing campaign.

"José Mourinho has once again confirmed himself as one of the best coaches in our league," said Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo.

"The Portuguese coach has been able to convey the great ambitions of the Giallorossi by transforming them into results on the pitch.

"His extraordinary motivational skills, his tactical knowledge and his ability to elevate the performance of his players have allowed Roma to get off to the best possible start this season and conquer the top of the table, with three wins in four matches and only one goal conceded".

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that there was a delightful moment on Tuesday, August 30 during the AS Roma vs Monza game as Jose Mourinho walked off Tammy Abraham after substituting the England striker.

Roma only acquired Abraham last summer from Chelsea in a deal worth £34 million which at the time, looked like a bit too much for a player who had slipped down the pecking order at Chelsea.

But under Mourinho, Tamy Abraham has reinvented himself and turned into a key player for the Italian side early on in the 2022/23 campaign.
