Jose Mourinho says he is as motivated as ever ahead of Roma’s Europa League final against Sevilla: “I’m a better coach, better person, same DNA”. The Giallorossi coach has led his side to a second consecutive European final, having won the inaugural Conference League trophy in 2022. Speaking ahead of the final, the Special One talked about the upcoming match and reflected on how he changed over the years since finding success with Porto:
“Better coach, better person, same DNA. The DNA is motivation, is happiness. Desire for these big moments, and these are the feelings that I try to pass to the boys.
“I think you can be better and better with your experiences… I think your brain becomes sharper and the accumulation of knowledge is better with the years.”
“I think you stop when you lose motivation, my motivation grows up every day… I think I am better now.”
“It’s because I give everything… People aren’t stupid. In the Roma case I think it is above winning or European finals. I think they feel like I wore the shirt and I fight for them every day,” said Mourinho.
“Maybe people think you cannot love every club. Yes, I love every club. I love every club because I also felt it the other way around, they also love me. So with Roma, one day it will be hard but we will be connected forever.”
