Mourinho: I want to stay at Roma
Jose Mourinho stated publicly for the first time that he wants to extend his contract at Roma - casting aside speculation that the veteran coach could be headed to a lucrative deal in cash-rich Saudi Arabia.But the 60-year-old coach's pledge came with a caveat. "I want to continue at Roma. And if I stay at Roma we've got to really think hard about the financial fair play limitations we have, because maybe it's better to work with younger players and give them some chances," Mourinho said.
"That could present an opportunity for development, compared to players who have nothing left to develop. I want to continue and I'm open to a new approach," Mourinho added.
Roma finished sixth in Serie A last season. Mourinho's three-year deal at Roma expires after this season and Roma's American owners have given no indication on their plans for the coach.
