"Final? Being able to face Mourinho is incredible, but Sevilla will be favourite

José Luis Mendilibar attended the press conference for the 'UEFA Media Day', Thursday, to project the final of the Europa League, against AS Roma, having praised the opponent and the coach José Mourinho.

"José Mourinho is one of the best. He won the European finals he played in, he coached the best teams in Europe and everything he says is good. To be able to face him is incredible and we will try to beat him. He has already shown that he is a great coach. , implemented his style of play in many clubs. That's what a good coach does, because you often want to change the way a team plays, but that doesn't happen because you can't convince the player", he affirmed.

"AS Roma are more of an Italian team, like Juventus. Still, I would say they are a traditional Italian team," he added.
