Mourinho: I miss the Italian press
The Portuguese coach and former manager of Tottenham and Manchester United, José Mourinho, is back in Italy, as most people probably know, where he has become the new head coach of AS Roma.
And Mourinho has clearly settled down well in Boot Country, where he previously celebrated some of his biggest triumphs with Inter. In particular, the relationship with the journalists in Italy is something that Mourinho has missed. He did not like the English press, he reveals.
When I was in England, I always told the staff around me that I missed the Italian press and the Italian press conferences, because in England they would always only talk about controversies, but now I'm in Italy and I do not even want to speak for much about tactics, because you are too good in your analyzes, it was reported from José Mourinho at a press conference prior to Rome's first match in Serie A, according to the media Football-Italia.net.
In the end, the Portuguese said that he obviously does not feel pressured in the job as coach of AS Roma. Instead, he focuses on his work. He will therefore not push all the players too hard either.
When the club makes such a fantastic effort to deal with the problems that should be, then I can not afford to push them further or make too many demands. I am here to work with the players we have in the squad and we still have time to build on, it sounded from the charismatic coach at the press conference according to the media.
AS Roma and José Mourinho start the season on Sunday night against Fiorentina in what will be Mourinho's first official match as coach of the capital club.
