Roma coach Jose Mourinho is confident the owners aren’t speaking to replacements behind his back.
Mourinho was asked about the rumours after their Coppa Italia win against Cremonese.
He said, “I honestly don’t believe it is true, because for me the honesty and reciprocity are essential. I have no reason to think the Friedkin family is not honest, that it does not understand reciprocity the way I do. I trust their honesty 100 per cent.
“That does not mean they want me here, but I do not believe that they are talking behind my back with other coaches. I will tell you why. I am giving you some news here – my Netflix series starts next week, it is covering my whole career, things I never told people. In that series, you will discover I am completely insane.
“I had not yet signed for Roma, but had given my word to Roma. I received an offer from a club, I won’t say which, I did say it in the series, who wanted me to break my word with Roma and I refused.
“When I received the offer from Portugal, from Saudi Arabia, the first person I told was my President. I do not believe they are talking about other coaches behind my back. I think all the rumours that are coming out are not true.
“I believe in reciprocity. I did it for them, they will do it for me.”
