Roma boss Jose Mourinho took the wheel momentarily ahead of the open-top bus parade
Mourinho was in good spirits before the parade even started as he momentarily drove the bus, and a number of his players could be heard cheering him on.
He nearly crashed the bus before finally pulling over, having left the team’s goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos behind.
Mourinho developed a reputation for ‘parking the bus’ in games due to the defensive tactics he employed throughout his time on the touchline.
Roma posted a video on their Twitter account with the bus passing the famous Colosseum, with Mourinho waving to the fans with a huge smile on his face and putting his hand to his heart.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport Mourinho was also seen singing with Roma supporters.
Giallorossi fans started chanting ‘He who doesn’t jump supports Lazio’ and Mourinho was seen singing.
