Arrigo Sacchi warns Fiorentina about West Ham ahead of the Conference League Final and is confident Roma can beat Sevilla: ‘José Mourinho has so much experience that he could sell refrigerators in Alaska.’
The former Milan and Italy coach previewed the upcoming European Finals involving Serie A clubs.
Roma will face Sevilla in Budapest on May 31 and Sacchi believes Mourinho has enough experience to lift the Europa League trophy.
“Roma have an extraordinary coach with great experience,” said Sacchi.
“He’d be able to sell refrigerators in Alaska. His teams are practical but with an immense personality, they never give up and Mou has been able to involve everyone in the team.
“We’ll see a team that keeps possession, Sevilla, and Roma who are more defensive, they have an Italian style. You can expect anything from Mourinho’s squad, including a great feat.”
On the other hand, Fiorentina will meet West Ham in the Conference League Final in Prague on June 7.
“It’s a tough game because English clubs have intensity,” admitted Sacchi.
“Fiorentina did good things in the Final against Inter but had a few bad moments. I’ve been following Vincenzo Italiano closely and I appreciate him. He is looking for new avenues for success and I have to admit that his teams are never boring. I’d be happy if the Viola lift the trophy.”
Fiorentina lost the Coppa Italia Final to Inter 2-1 last week and have been waiting for their first major trophy since 2000-01 when they won the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana.
Sacchi also previewed the Champions League Final between Inter and Manchester City saying that the Nerazzurri have a fair chance to win the Cup with the Big Ears although the Premier League champions are favourites in Istanbul.
