“I never had him as a first team coach but as an assistant,” Barca coach Xavi once recalled of Mourinho’s time at the club.
“He was aggressive and taught us football concepts.”
The former Chelsea coach became an unpopular figure at the Camp Nou after joining Barca’s bitter rivals Real Madrid in 2010.
Mourinho won a LaLiga title, a Copa del Rey and a Spanish Supercup in his three seasons at Madrid.
His return to the Camp Nou will add spice to the Gamper Trophy, an annual friendly match held in August that acts as a curtain-raiser to Barca’s campaign.
Roma already faced Barca at the Gamper in the 2015 edition, with the Catalan giants winning 3-0.
Barca beat Italian giants Juventus in the previous edition.
