AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho has opened up about the"craziest job offer" he recently turned down to stay in Rome.
The Portuguese's future at Roma has come under question after enduring his worst-ever start to a campaign as a manager.Mourinho has been known to leave clubs in the third season of his spell, which has done at Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United over the years. However, it seems the two-time UEFA Champions League winner is not planning on leaving the Italian capital anytime soon."What I can say is that three months ago it was almost a drama to think that I could leave. In Budapest on the pitch I told the players that I would stay, after the Spezia game I reiterated it to the fans, two-three days later I gave my word to [president Dan] Friedkin.
"In the summer I had the biggest, most important and craziest job offer that a coach has ever had in the history of football: I rejected it precisely because of my word. "Now it seems like I'm a problem, I don't accept it. I don't accept it because it's not true, I'm not a problem."For 14 free days, you can have access to the best from Soccer Laduma, KickOff, Daily Sun, TrueLove and Drum.
