José Mourinho has never lost a home Serie A game in his career and could beat Massimiliano Allegri’s record if he avoids defeat in the next three matches at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Special One returned to Serie A after ten years in the summer, signing a three-year deal with Roma.
Mourinho had spent two seasons at Inter, winning two Serie A titles and the treble in his last season at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. During his time at Inter, he never lost a game at home.
His Roma side beat Fiorentina 3-1 in their opening Serie A match of the season, so Mourinho has stretched his unbeaten run at home to 49 games.
Mourinho has already leapfrogged Fabio Capello, who managed 38 Serie A games unbeaten at home as a Roma coach between 2000 and 2002.
Only Massimiliano Allegri has more. The Italian tactician remained unbeaten for 41 league games at home during his first spell at Juventus.
Mourinho will beat him by avoiding defeat in the next three home games against Sassuolo (September 12), Udinese (September 23) and Empoli (October 3).
The former Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United boss went 150 home league games unbeaten with four different clubs (Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid) between 2002 and 2011.
