Roma chief Pinto: We wanted Mourinho for nights like this

Roma chief Tiago Pinto says the club is delighted with the work of coach Jose Mourinho.

Pinto reaffirmed their backing for Mourinho before last night's Europa Conference League semifinal triumph against Leicester.

Ahead of kickoff, Pinto said: “We announced Mourinho because of this, we were 100 per cent sure he was the right sporting leader for this project.

"He is involved in every area, working on the pitch, within the club, creating that union between the fans and club. He is the right man to continue leading Roma towards success.

“We want to play this as the most important game of the season, reach the Final, then there are also three very important Serie A games to play and we'll see next season what the objectives are."
