Jose Mourinho arrived in Rome on Friday and wasted no time in giving his first interview to the club’s official channels. The Portuguese coach has a great incentive to return to Italy and assures that he will build Roma in the spirit of victory.

“I am very excited about Roma. I was like that when I had the first conversation with the management and Thiago Pinto, I had great feelings. I felt a lot of sympathy and wanted to come here right away. I felt that this is not a project of Mourinho, or Thiago Pinto or Friedkin (the angel), it’s Project Roma. Of course I know the facts, last season we were 29 points behind first and 16 points from fourth. I signed a three-year contract and this is a permanent project. I hope, of course, that success will come while I’m here, “he began by saying that he was a better coach than I did. It was when he left Inter Milan in 2010.

“I have improved a lot, honestly. I am a better coach because experience is very important. After Italy I went to Spain and fulfilled my dream of winning in Italy, Spain and England. In Tottenham, I had the experience of taking the team to the final and not playing, i.e. I learned a lot of positive moments and also One of the lowest quality moments.

On strengthening the squad, a topic that has caused a lot of ink to flow, Mourinho was clear. “I hope to get some gifts, I will be very happy and will be an excellent helper for me. I am looking forward to meeting the players, who will only get a pre-season dropper.”
