Coach Mourinho asks AS Roma supporters for time and patience

sport">4:58 PM: During his presentation at AS Roma, Coach José Mourinho tried to temper the high expectations of the supporters a bit. “The club does not want success today and problems tomorrow,” argued the 58-year-old Portuguese. “The board wants a sustainable project for the future. That’s the main reason I’m here now. It’s time to get started. I did not come to Rome for a holiday.”

In football you often have little time to put something down, but at AS Roma I do get that space. This will enable me to lay a foundation for the coming years.”
