Olympic champion Jacobs could unleash potential at Roma, Mourinho jokes

Jose Mourinho, AS Roma manager, left his fans wondering if Lamont Marcell Jacobs, the Olympic 100m champion, would have been a great footballer in another lifetime after jokingly displaying the signing of the Olympic 100m champion on Monday (Aug 8)

Mourinho believes Jacobs would be a great fit for Roma, despite the Special One's unconventional approach to fantasy football. The Italian would not only be the fastest man in Serie A but also the most versatile. Super fast, dominant, technically flawless. "Can play as a defender ..." Mourinho stated in a social media post next to a photo of the 27-year old athlete, one day after Roma's friendly win over Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk.

Roma superfan Jacobs was presented the No 12 shirt by the capital club. He was eager to give up athletics to become Roma's next big signing after Paulo Dybala, the forward from Argentina, joined the club in July.
