Jose Mourinho is a man of many phases - two days ago, he was causing drama after the Europa League final and now he is back in Rome, showing love to fans.
He guided AS Roma to their second European final in his second season but lost out to Europa giants Sevilla, who won 4-1 on penalties after a shootout.
Mourinho was not too pleased with the officiating of the English team led by Anthony Taylor, many of whom he knew during his time managing in the Premier League.
