Mourinho signed Pedro from Barcelona during his second stint at Stamford Bridge before being relieved of his duties four months later due to poor results.
What Pedro said about Mourinho after he sacked as Chelsea boss
Pedro told the Telegraph six years ago after Mourinho was sacked as Blues boss:
"It was about everything, everything just wasn’t right. We were very low in the league, the spirits were very low, the trust was very low, everything was going wrong."It made it very difficult to be fit, to be in a good position. It was just the whole thing – it wasn’t right."
Roma recently completed the signing of Tammy Abraham from Chelsea and the 23-year-old is expected to help the Special one win trophies in the Italian top division.
The England striker was left on the bench for most parts of last campaign under Thomas Tuchel as the Blues captured their second Champions League title.
The organisation said Masari is right to urge his people to take up arms against bandits and kidnappers, adding that not all weapons are illegal for citizens, especially those which come with police permits.

ACF's national publicity secretary, Emmanuel Yawe, who spoke with Punch on Wednesday, August 18, argued that local hunters are among those who are allowed to carry guns.
Speaking further, Yawe explained that many instances have proven that terrorists in the north dread these hunters even more than regular security agencies like police and the military.
He noted:
“Do not also forget that local hunters in Adamawa gave Boko Haram hell. Boko Haram dreaded them more than the combined team of army and police.“The locals know the terrain more than the army and police, who are assembled from all over the country in line with the Federal Government policy on recruitments into government agencies. No wonder they (local hunters) were recruited to join the fight against Boko Haram."
Shehu Sani reacts to Masari's approval for Katsina residents to carry arms
One of those who have expressed their takes on the government's position is Shehu Sani, a former senator who represented Kaduna Central.
Sani noted that this is an admission of the fact that those who are supposed to secure the lives of their people have failed.
According to the former federal lawmaker, the last time Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue and TY Danjuma, retired military personnel, call for the same move, they were vehemently criticised.

The dangling body is said to be one of the members of a syndicate, who specialised in vandalising electrical installations of the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHECDC) in the area.
.
.
“Our light has not been stable, and each time we took complaints to them, they would blame cable thieves and asked us to contribute money for it to be fixed,†Ime Samuel, one of the local residents explained to Nigerian Tribune.
.
.
“Every day for the thief and one day for the owner. Good for the man on his way to h*ll,†Aniefiok Sunday, a beer pub owner exclaimed, lamenting that “sometimes for months there won’t be light and, and because there is no power to chill our drinks, patronage is always low. People would prefer to go to the nearby Ikot Ekpene town to enjoy their cash.â€

It was learnt the syndicate from the neighbouring Aba, Abia State, work in collaboration with Akwa Ibom collaborators, to perpetuate the crime.

ONE DOCTOR ATTENDS TO 4000 NIGERIANS-EX-NMA PRESIDENT
~1.0 mins read
The former President, Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Dr Osahon Enabulele, on Friday said President Muhammadu Buhari is not motivating Nigerian doctors to stay at home and practice due to his love for foreign medical trips.
.
.
Lamenting the high cases of brain waves in the country, Enabulele in an interview with Channels Televison, said based on the depleting numbers of healthcare workers in the country, one doctor is currently attending to 4,000 Nigerians as against the ratio of the WHO which recommends one doctor to 600 population.
.
.
“So, how are we investing in the health production capacity in terms of institutional framework for producing a health personnel? Today in the health sector, we need over 250,000 medical doctors to meet with the ratio of one doctor to 600 population prescribed by the World body.
.
.
Nigeria today is revolving around one doctor to 4, 000 population. That cannot impact useful health outcomes. That cannot drive useful health outcomes. So, how are we producing? Even those that are produced, how are we training and retraining them? How are we retaining them?
.
.
So, what motivational mechanism do we have on the ground? As I speak to you now, the environment is so defective largely. The working conditions are very pitiable and of course, buoyed by the issue of insecurity which affects all Nigerians,†the statement read in part.
