Maria Sensi, the widow of former Roma President Franco Sensi, has publicly berated Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho told journalists on Monday that no one talks about how Roma, the team with the best midfield in Italy, will end the season with no silverware.
"It would be better if Mourinho waited until the end of the season to say certain things," Maria told the Roma Club in Montecitorio.
"We will cross our fingers and hope that he will have to eat his words in May. You know that would be wonderful," she concluded.
