Roma coach Jose Mourinho said winning was an obsession for him during his first stint in Italian football. ‘I was a victim of myself at a certain point’.
The former Nerazzurri coach returns to Serie A, 11 years after he secured a historic Treble with the Beneamata.
The Special One, who has signed with Roma ahead of 2021-22, spoke at a presentation of Joao Gabriel’s book.
“Keeping oneself crazy and hungry,” the Portuguese tactician said, according to FCInterNews.
“I was a victim of myself at a certain point. I entered the dynamic of ‘win, win, win, which can lead to failure.
“If I could go back, I would change it sooner. After all, I won, won and won. I’m was into the dynamic where if you don’t win, it’s the end of the world.
“Because of my personality, I have always promoted this, you always do everything to win, win and win again.
“But when I got into situations where it was very difficult to do so, I didn’t accept it, unlike other coaches.”
Mourinho has signed a three-year deal with the Giallorossi and revealed he is excited to start the new season.
The 58-year-old has signed a three-year deal with La Lupa and hopes to ‘build something important’ in the Italian capital.
