Nemanja Matic joins AS Roma as he reunites with Mourinho again
Jose Mourinho has recruited playmaker Nemanja Matic for AS Roma and for the third time in his coaching career.
After his exit from
Manchester United, Nemanja Matic reconnected with Jose Mourinho at
AS Roma, agreeing to a free transfer with the Serie A club.
The 33-year-old has agreed to a one-year contract with the Stadio Olimpico, where he will rejoin former Man Utd teammate Henrikh Mkhitaryan and
Chelseafriend Tammy Abraham.
After confirming last season that he would be leaving Old Trafford after five years, the Serbian international has been acquired by Mourinho for the third time in his career.
"I am pleased and honored to be joining this club and I cannot wait to start the new season with my teammates," Matic said.
"Roma is a big club, with amazing fans and a coach, Jose Mourinho, who is well known to everyone – making the decision to come here very straightforward.
"I hope that by working together we are able to achieve some great things."
Matic re-signed for Chelsea in 2014 during Mourinho's second term at Stamford Bridge after three years in Portugal, and three years later accompanied the Portuguese coach with the Red Devils, where he was a regular in the senior squad under Louis van Gaal and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
