Roma midfielder Zainolo: Honour to be coached by Mourinho

Roma midfielder Nicolo Zainolo is looking forward to working with coach Jose Mourinho.

Zainolo should be fully recovered from knee surgery in time for preseason training.

“We can't wait to show Mourinho our worth," he said. “He's a great coach and has won a lot.

“For me it's an honour to be coached by him, so I can't wait to get started."

On Italy's Euro 2020 chances, Zainolo added: “I'm not saying anything, because you saw what happened to world champions France, but at this point, in your opinion, which national team wouldn't be afraid of Italy? I don't think any."
