Historic agent of José Mourinho, Jorge Mendes spoke with the Gazzetta dello Sport following the dismissal of Roma’s ‘Special One’ earlier this week. For the Portuguese agent, the Roman club did not do things well: “I was surprised by this decision. I did not expect that. With him, Roma won a European competition again after I don’t know how many years. It’s a winner (…). He was ninth, but how many points behind fourth? Five. And there were 18 days of championship left. Instead, he was fired. He wanted to continue and was convinced that he would succeed even if the situation was not easy. »
Jorge Mendes wanted to defend José Mourinho’s record and assert that his client was still attractive. The Portuguese technician would have received offers from Saudi Arabia during his last months at Roma. The former Chelsea and Real coach should bounce back quickly according to agent. “For me, it’s just a matter of time. He’s a very good coach and he’s always shown it wherever he’s been.”. Some avenues are already on José Mourinho’s table.
