Roma coach Jose Mourinho is unsure what to expect from Andriy Shevchenko's Genoa on Sunday.

It will mark the AC Milan legend's first game in charge since his appointment.

Mourinho said, “I'm not saying that we are entirely in the dark, but it certainly has some difficulties. Playing against a new coach is rather unknown, but at the end of the day, Genoa and Roma both need points. It'll be entertaining, with the desire to win from both sides.

“My first memory of Shevchenko is when I saw him playing. When you win the Ballon d'Or, the Champions League and many other trophies, then you make history.

“Now it is his first experience as a coach at club level. He did well with Ukraine, proving he has a clear philosophy of football. He's a calm leader, because he's a calm person.

“I would love for him to experience what I did at my first game as a coach: I lost, but then won many trophies later on."
