Jose Mourinho has always held Serie A close to his heart because of his spells at Roma and Inter. He has now revealed that the Giallorossi was the best club he ever worked at.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Portuguese\u2019s time in Rome didn\u2019t end in the best possible way. There was talk around squables with the Friedkin ownership and he had fallen into the old patterns of calling out referees and officiating.<\/p>\n
This hasn\u2019t changed how he sees the Giallorossi. He spoke to Il Giornale<\/strong> in a detailed interview and was mainly asked about his time at Roma and how he looks back on the stint.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mourinho made it clear that it was the best place he ever worked at.<\/p>\n He said \u2013 via La Gazzetta dello Sport: \u201cRome is the best place I\u2019ve ever worked.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWhy is it so hard to win in Rome? I don\u2019t know, for me it\u2019s the best place of my career. I\u2019ve never felt such an incredible atmosphere around a football team, the Olimpico is always full, the way the people feel about the players.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mourinho also addressed whether the expectations from Roma fans for their club are too high or not.<\/p>\n He sided with the fans, saying: \u201cIs the level of demand high? It\u2019s not a tragedy because when we won the Conference, the celebrations were incredible. Not even in my Champions League triumphs have I seen scenes like this.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBut my Roma is over, I don\u2019t want to say anything else. In fact, one thing- no one should blame the Roma fans by saying it\u2019s their fault if we don\u2019t win. The Giallorossi fans are the ones who help the team, no one should touch them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n He also spoke about his battles against the referees during his time at the Giallorossi, revealing his battle was actually against the systems in place in Calcio.<\/p>\n \u201cMy battle was against the system, not the referees,\u201d adds the Portuguese. \u201cIn reality, I believe that Italian football is no different from other clubs, it\u2019s just that here, cyclically, they manage to investigate and clean up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time Mourinho has been all praises for Roma fans and his admiration was clear during his time at the club too. It is fair to say that a bond still exists between the two and it will continue to exist for years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Kaustubh Pandey \u2013 GIFN<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
