Roma, José Mourinho lapidary on his future
On the eve of the challenge with Napoli tomorrow night at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma coach José Mourinho spoke in a press conference, reiterating to yet another question about his future his intention to remain on the Giallorossi bench. Here are his words, quotes from the Gazzetta dello Sport website.
"One might have thought that there were doubts in my head. Or that maybe some problem or frustration might have created doubts for me. I clearly stated my position. I have always been direct and honest. A week after signing with Roma I had a fantastic offer and I informed the club. I did not accept out of respect for Roma”.
“I had a chance to go to coach Portugal but the club told me it was important to stay and I stayed. After the Budapest final I again informed the club about the Arab offer and I turned it down. I want to stay and fight, even with all the difficulties and negative things. This è is my position and there is no doubt about it. Now I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Two words also for tomorrow’s opponents: “Napoli è always Napoli. They are the same as last year except for Kim. They play almost the same 11 as the team that won the Scudetto. The difficulties are the ones we know. Forò when we faced them we lost 1-0 at’80’ at home and drew in Naples. They lost a very good coach but have a found a coach with great experience in soccer and especially in Naples. They have a bench that offers many solutions”.
