Jose Mourinho, manager of Roma, has given clear indications regarding his future with the club. After a disappointing loss against Bologna, Mourinho also spoke on the topic of Motta.
Mourinho was adamant about remaining with Roma: “I want to stay on at Roma,” he expressed. The Roma coach went on to indicate that the club needs to evaluate its future intelligently, staying within the parameters of the Financial Fair Play regulations.

About Motta, Mourinho expressed his fondness, stating, “Thiago? He’s still my boy”, showing his ongoing support and personal connection with the player. All quotes were provided directly by Mourinho in the immediate aftermath of the Bologna match.
