Tiago Pinto: “My work in Rome was inspired by that of Benfica”
A few hours after the match against the Andalusians, Tiago Pinto spoke to the Portuguese broadcaster Sic. Here are his statements: “My work in Rome was inspired by that of Benfica. I took many cues from them, in Portugal we are used to taking care of every detail and that’s what I’ve been doing here in Italy. Friedkin bought the company we installed 5 perfect training pitches at the Trigoria Sports Center for the first team that weren’t there before. We are growing thanks to the work we are all doing together”.
“Mourinho is exactly as you imagine him. He is a person who dedicates himself body and soul to what he does. He is a demanding and ambitious person. Although he is 60 years old and has won 25 trophies in his career, he continues with the same drive, passion and motivation as he did thirty years ago”.
“The relationship between Mourinho and me is a deep one. What we do together cannot be judged by a single result, regardless of how the Europa League Final against Sevilla goes. There is still a lot to do for this club. We also know how football goes that it’s not always possible to guarantee 100% what will happen in the future because surprises are always around the corner. I can certainly say that for my part the intention is to continue the work here in Rome with him”.
