“The CEO is sure I’m staying? It will be his intuition…”

Jose Mourinho’s future in Rome is not assured. Or not as much as the CEO of the Club, Pietro Berardi, believed. The president assured that Mourinho would continue during the next season, but the Setúbal coach wanted to clarify his ‘beliefs’ in the press conference prior to the match against Salzburg.

“My belief is that next year Mourinho will coach Roma,” Berardi said. Mourinho, in front of the media, denied having talked about a possible renewal of his contract, which runs until June 2024.

“The last thing I want to think about right now is my future and that of the team. Right now I only think about Salzburg. The future is tomorrow, in this case. The words of the CEO Pietro Berardi are simply his intuition, I have never spoken to him about this matter”, explained the Portuguese coach.

Next season he seems to be at the forward, but where he will be sure is on the bench of Olímpico de Roma for the game that faces the Giallorossi against RB Salzburg in the second leg of the first round of the Europa League. They will have to overcome the goal against scored by Nicolás Capaldo, who scored in the last minutes of the first leg.
