“I don’t know if I will continue in Roma beyond 2024. Before Budapest (Europa League final) I promised the players that I will stay this season. And after the game against Spezia, at the Olympic Stadium, I also promised with the gesture I made to the fans that I will stay here and now I am here,” he said in an interview with SkySports Italia.
The statements do not help Romanista fans to be optimistic about the continuation of the coach, who has a contract ends in June 2024, and they added what he did this Sunday to an Arab media.
“I am in Rome, I am focused on Rome and I will give everything until my last day here. Then nobody knows the future, but I also think that I will work in Arabia. I don’t know when, but I am quite sure that it will be something without a doubt,” his words on the “elhekayashow” program.
MourinhoHowever, he insists on the strong connection he feels with Romanism, which he has always praised for the way he understands football.
“When I came and found Romanism, I knew all its doubts, I knew all its disappointments and I tried to enter it. I like Romanism. I like pure Romanism, I like Romanism in the street. When I’m on the bank and I look to the right of the Olympic (Curva Sur, the animation sector) I’m still excited,” he commented.
“When you reach two finals in Europe and you carry the city, when you cry with joy with them, you become one of them even more,” he added.
Although the coach also wants to put on the table the presence of “anti-mourinhism” in Rome.
“There is also anti-mourinhism. Especially in Rome, where there are both factions. Mourinhism is known by people who know what I did. Anti-mourinhism is done by people who are happy all the time when Roma don’t win of a cup. and had no European hits. They have fun on the radio and that’s fine. Anti-Mourinhism sells, Mourinhism is a way of being in life,” he explained.
“I say this because I find people on the street, in all parts of the world, who recognize me and my way of life,” he noted.
In addition, he reflected on living with victory and defeat: “When you win you have difficulty walking, because there are many people, but when you lose you are a sad man. This is my experience of more than twenty years, which makes me think and feel this way.”
