Rothen backing Roma coach Mourinho for PSG: He'd wake up everyone

Former PSG star Jerome Rothen wants to see Jose Mourinho take charge.

PSG coach Christophe Galtier is under pressure after an underwhelming first season in charge.

Rothen would like to see Roma coach Mourinho in Paris, stating on RMC Sport: "First of all, I'm not asking for Christophe Galtier to be relieved of his duties. But if this is the owners' decision, I think we should think only of José Mourinho.

"He is a tough coach, a coach who has won and who has had so many experiences. He would be respected by all the players in the dressing room. There would be a discipline that has disappeared for so many years. He would let nothing pass, he would have no fear of the players and their status.

"He won titles wherever he coached, apart from Tottenham. What I like about him is that he's a mad football fan and that's what's missing. He would wake up most of the fans who are now asleep. And then he would have great resources again, to try to storm a competition that he has already won two times."
