'Mourinhomania' grows at Roma: Record season ticket sales

Jose Mourinho's effect on AS Roma has been telling, having clinched the club's first European trophy in 60 years.

Now, the Portuguese's impact on the club has become more evident after they managed to sell 33,500 season tickets in just the first phase, something that has not been since 2004.

Roma were already attracting crowds of around 60,000 spectators on average per game and that is now set to continue, if not increase, in the 2022/23 season.

The season ticket renewal process began on May18, and since then, confirmations have been pouring in.

Out of those who were already season ticket holders last year, 93.8 percent have confirmed that they are renewing.

As for newcomers, 13,000 have joined the faithful that will attend all home games at Stadio Olimpico.
