New Roma football chief Tiago Pinto has detailed his plans for the club.
Pinto left Benfica last month to take charge of Roma.
“It was not easy to leave Benfica, you all know how much I love the club," he said.
“Dan and Ryan Friedkin explained me what they want to build here. I've understood I could play a key role in the development of the club and make the team more competitive.
“This is a medium-to-long term project and sustainability is crucial to gain victories in football, but nobody can predict when we will win.
“We have ambition and we must have it every day. Our aim must be to do better than the day before. If we'll be able to do that, we'll win.
“There are clubs who have invested a lot, but haven't won much, we are working every day to make Roma more competitive, we need to be united and we'll reach our targets all together."
What's the club's transfer strategy?
“We have no language barriers with [Paulo] Fonseca. We are working together to find the best solutions.
"We want to keep hold of our best players as long as possible. We want to make them develop and keep them for as much time as we can and be competitive.
“Fonseca is the fifth coach I'm working with, I know him very well. I identify myself in his ideas, an offensive and dynamic football. His ideas are the right ones for this club.
“I can't say how many operations we'll do in January, we are working to make the best deals.
“I repeat this is a medium to-long term project and we are working to make the team more competitive."
