Mourinho is keen to have Daniele de Rossi alongside him in the dugout and also plans talks with Walter Samuel about a similar return to Roma.

The retired Argentina international defender played for both Roma and Inter Milan.

He was with the Giallorossi from 2000-04 and moved to Inter from 2005-14, winning the Treble under Mourinho.
