Sacchi hails Roma coach Mourinho: He could sell refrigerators in Alaska

Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi is full of praise for Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho has guided Roma to the Europa League final and also has them still in the battle for a top four finish.

Sacchi, previewing the Europa League final against Sevilla, said: "Roma have an extraordinary coach, who has great experience and who would be capable of selling refrigerators in Alaska.

"His teams pay attention to the point, but have a strong personality and never give up: they have character, grit, a sense of belonging. He, as the authentic character he is, has been able to involve the environment and the group.

"What game will it be? We will see a challenge between a team, Sevilla, who prefer ball possession and one, Roma, who have a purely defensive vocation, in the Italian style. I say that everything can be expected from Mourinho and his teams. Also a big business."
