Feyenoord manager Arne Slot was asked about Jose Mourinho’s dismissal from Roma.
With less than a month to go until the two teams face each for the third time in three years in a European competition, Slot reflected on his rivalry with Mourinho.
“I think it’s very annoying for Mourinho to not be at Roma anymore. I would have liked to cross swords with him again,” Slot told Dutch news portal Vi.nl.
“When a fellow coach is fired, it is always very painful. Because I know how hard it is when you get fired,” he added.
