Mourinho assures Roma fans: I'm here for long-term

Jose Mourinho says he's joined Roma for the long-term.

Despite beginning his managerial career over two decades ago, Mourinho claims he wants another contract at Roma, beyond the three-year deal he signed at the beginning of May.

He said: "Hopefully success arrives with me because the contract is a three-year contract - my first with AS Roma. Maybe there is a second one day.

"It's a job where you can only get better until the day where you lose your motivation which I think is the only thing that can make a football coach decide to stop or it's not enough or to stop learning. That's not my case. I'm very far from it.

"I'm learning every day so I think I'm much better. And it's one thing to come to a country for the first time where you arrive in level zero and you have everything to learn about it. In my case of course that's not the case.

"I know Italy as a country and as a football culture. I know something about Roma because in my Italian time Roma was the real rival and the team which was close to us fighting for the titles."
