Paulo Fonseca: I want to stay with Roma for long time

Paulo Fonseca wants a long-term stay with AS Roma.

Fonseca has managed to revive the Giallorosso since taking chage this summer.

“Results always make the decisions for us in the life of a coach, but as well as this wonderful city, I'd like to stay at a club that makes me feel at home," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Roma are one of the most important clubs in the world and I would like to stay here for a long time. My first season so far has been positive, I am very happy with the team and with Serie A football. It's a very tough league, as every game is different, with strong squads and coaches all the way through.

“I am by nature an optimist, so I think 2020 can be even better for us than 2019. However, our objectives have not changed, we are still aiming for a top four finish so we can qualify for the Champions League. Having said that, I do not change my opinion that if we reinforce this squad over the course of my contract, then we can win something.

“We can push for a trophy this season too, as the Coppa Italia won't be easy, while the Europa League has become practically a mini-Champions League, but we will certainly play to win."
