José Mourinho cancelled his press conference before Roma’s match against Inter on Saturday, denying us a window into his emotions as he prepared to face his former club in Serie A for the first time. Eleven years had passed since he left the Nerazzurri in floods of tears, hugging Marco Materazzi before disappearing into a Madrid night after completing an unprecedented Treble win.
He skipped the celebrations in Milan – fearing he could get caught up in a moment and make a commitment that he would regret.
Real Madrid were ready to hire him and Mourinho now had his eyes on a different kind of treble, adding a La Liga title to his personal collection after conquering the
Premier League and Serie A.
