“Absolutely not. José is a winner. I worked with him twice — first in Manchester, then in Rome.

Something happened between him and someone from the management, and I didn’t want to interfere. I will never speak poorly of José, at Roma he didn’t have the best team, but he has come a long way.

I always wish him all the best, he is also doing fantastic things in Turkey,” quotes Romelu Corriere dello Sport.
