    Jose Mourinho opens up on aims, objectives on new job

    Former Roma of Italy coach, Jose Mourinho has revealed what he wants from his next job in management in his search for a new job.

    The 61-year-old, who has been out of work since Roma sacked him in January, has been linked with clubs in the Saudi Pro League, but the Portuguese is eyeing a move to a European side.

    Maurinho told Telegraph what he really wants.

    According to him, targets and objectives have got to be fair by everyone.

    “The only thing I want is that the targets and the objectives have to be established by everyone in a fair way. I cannot go to a club where, because of my history, the objective is to win the title. No. The only thing I want is that it has to be fair.

    “What is important for me is if the club has objectives and for me to be able to say I am ready to fight for these. I don’t want to say realistic, but [at least] semi-realistic.

    “Because when I went to Roma, nobody was dreaming about European Cup finals and we did it. It’s not possible I go to a club that is almost relegated and the objective is to win the Champions League. It’s good but it is not fair.”

    AS Roma manager, Jose Mourinho has explained that the final against Sevilla on the 31st of May will help his boys grow, achieve important things and help the club’s fans.

    The Portuguese gaffer, made this known while speaking in a post match conference after his side sailed through to the Europa League final on Thursday.

    Roma played out a 0-0 draw with Bayern Leverkusen in Germany and thus qualified based on the favourable 1-0 first leg result in Rome,

    Mourinho’s men will now face Sevilla in the Europa League final later this month after progressing to the final on a 1-0 aggregate victory.

    Recall that Sevilla had eliminated Juventus in the semi-final second-leg tie after winning 3-2 on aggregate.

    Speaking to Sky Sport after the game, Mourinho said: “My concern is not marking my place in the Roma history books.

    “It is helping these kids [players] to grow, to achieve important things.

    “It is also helping the Roma fans, who have given me so much since day one. It is an immense joy to get to another final.

    “The boys give everything, this game is the result of our work, experience, tactical wisdom and knowing how to stay in matches. It is an incredible team.”

  • Europa: Roma, Sevilla set up final in Budapest

    Europa: Roma, Sevilla set up final in Budapest

    Italain side AS Roma have reached back to back finals on the continent after playing out a 0-0 draw at Bayern Leverkusen.

    Roma are the champions in the maiden edition of the Europa Conference League following a 1-0 win over Feyenoord at the National Arena in Tirana, Albania last year and they have reached another final in Europe.

    Roma produced a display of extreme resilience to edge past Bayer Leverkusen and reach successive European finals under Jose Mourinho.

    Mourinho masterminded the Italian club’s first European trophy in over 60 years as they won last season’s Conference League in his first campaign in Rome. The Giallorossi – 1-0 up from the first leg – frustrated the Bundesliga outfit throughout the encounter.

    Leverkusen were the only side to threaten a goal throughout the tie and enjoyed the lion’s share of possession, but were unable to make the breakthrough against a typically well-drilled Mourinho side – who will play in next month’s final.

    Leverkusen were the only side to threaten a goal throughout the tie and enjoyed the lion’s share of possession, but were unable to make the breakthrough against a typically well-drilled Mourinho side – who will play in next month’s final.

    The first half statistics reflected both the home side’s domination of the ball – 73 percent possession – and chances in front of goal – with 12 efforts compared to just one for Roma. It was Moussa Diaby who came closest for the host, the lively forward smashing his effort off the frame of the goal after Rui Patricio was beaten.

    Xabi Alonso’s side continued to see chance after chance pass them by in the second half with Roma happy to drop off, defend their box and allow the home side to fire off chances that were not clear cut.

    In a similar fashion, Sevilla have reached another final in the Europa league after defeating Juventus by 2-1 in Seville.

    The result meant Sevilla won both ties 3-2 on aggregate and will get a shot at the trophy once again.

    Sevilla will face Roma in the Europa final on May 31st, 2023.
