Roma coach Mourinho slams 'the Einsteins of football'

Roma coach Jose Mourinho has posted a message to fans as he left for his summer break.

Roma finished the season as winners of the Europa Conference League.

Mourinho stated: “Memories stay forever and history can't be deleted. For me these were incredible, unforgettable emotions, but I need to think “what next"…

“Before that, I need to hug everyone. I need to tell the world my gratitude to my PLAYERS: everyone of them, from Rui who played 54 matches to Pietro who didn't play one single minute. But in this team everyone played every minute of every game, that is what the Einsteins of football don't know, don't understand and I feel sorry for them.

“Football is what you see and what you can't see, football is not played by 11, it is played by many more, and we were sooo many… Players, coaches, medical staff, analysts, kitmen, kitchen people, families, friends, romanisti, mourinhisti and I am so grateful to everyone.

“One day I will leave Roma and AS Roma, that's the law of football, but more than one or more cups I would love to see this club for ever and ever united by this passion and love."
