Given that Simone Inzaghi was handed a new contract on Tuesday, José Mourinho is now the coach among the top Serie A ones with the shortest contract as he is only committed to Roma through 2024.
During a press conference, director Tiago Pinto responded to all of the inquiries, although he avoided this one (via: Tuttomercatoweb).
“These are important topics that get handled internally. We aren’t feuding. We say things directly to each other and are motivated to do well.”
Meanwhile, the Roma director and Mourinho don’t seem on the same page concerning their main seasonal goal.
The Special One called qualifying for the Champions League “a feat” in a rare public remark. Instead, the exec set the high bar.

“They wouldn’t have joined if we didn’t fight for objectives like the Champions League.
“If we compare with last season, we’re stronger and have more solutions.”
It’ll be a crucial year for the gaffer and the club, as it’s the final year of his contract.
