AS Roma’s Mourinho Future and European Cup Match Against Feyenoord

Feyenoord will play against AS Roma in a European cup competition for the third season in a row. Arne Slot’s team will once again have to compete against the team coached by José Mourinho. However, there is a lot to do about the Portuguese trainer. The question remains whether he will stay in Rome.

Mourinho has an expiring contract with Roma and previously made no secret of the fact that there is enough interest in him. Employment in Saudi Arabia in particular would be one of the concrete possibilities. The Special One recently spoke openly about his future. “I’ll tell you something I haven’t said before because I didn’t want to say it yet. I want to stay at Roma,” Voetbal International reported from Mourinho to DAZN.

The message would be clear if the Portuguese had not attached important conditions to his statement. Mourinho wants to discuss the financial possibilities of the Roman club with owner Dan Friedkin. The trainer criticizes the narrow selection he has to work with. “I know the limitations of this team. If everyone is fit, we have enough quality to compete. But last season we didn’t finish fourth in Serie A because we reached a European final.”

AS Roma reached that final by eliminating Feyenoord in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. The year before, the Romans also defeated the Rotterdam team in the Conference League final. In the run-up to the renewed meeting, Mourinho’s future will undoubtedly remain a topic of discussion. His strict demand for reinforcements, in combination with proposals from interested clubs, could potentially lead to unrest within the club. Until then, the 60-year-old Portuguese will do everything he can to increase the pressure on the board. First of all, by winning over the Roman public. “They are special and I would find it difficult to say goodbye to them. That would never be my own choice. Never,” Mourinho said about the fans.
