Jose Mourinho has certainly fallen in love with the city of Rome during his time at Roma - and he was part of quite the romantic moment this week during the club's pre season.
Mourinho took charge of Roma at the beginning of last season, and emotionally led the club to a first ever European trophy when they triumphed in the Europa Conference League.
On Friday afternoon, the official Roma Twitter account shared a video of an altogether different emotional encounter for Mourinho. The Portuguese coach unusually played a central role in the marriage proposal of a die hard Roma fan during the club's pre-season training.
Jose Mourinho guest stars in Roma fan's proposal
The video begins with the Roma fan and his partner asking Jose Mourinho to take a picture with them, which Mourinho willingly obliges.
The former Chelsea and Real Madrid coach appears to want to rush off, before being convinced by the fan to stay for a moment. It quickly becomes clear that more is at play than a simple photo and, remarkably, the fan then gets down on one knee to propose - not to Mourinho, of course, but to his partner.

It's a heartwarming video and, thankfully, the answer was yes. The fan's to involve his club's manager in the marriage proposal is certainly devotion to Roma unlike anything we've ever seen. We must also say fair play to Roma and to Mourinho for fulfilling the fan's wish.
It certainly seemed to make the occasion even more special - as the fan was to leave the training field celebrating as though he had scored the winner in a Rome derby.
Jose Mourinho recently shared an image of his new tattoo to his Instagram page.
The tattoo celebrates the five European trophies he has won - two Champions Leagues (with Porto and Inter), two Europa Leagues (with Porto and Manchester United), and the Europa Conference League (last season with Roma).
Mourinho will lead Roma in the Europa League next season - and he will have two happy newlyweds cheering on his team.
