Serbian midfielder Nemanja Matic was asked about his decision to suddenly part ways with Roma.

Now a player of Stade Rennais, Nemanja Matic was recently interviewed by RMC Sport about Roma and Mourinho.

“The past doesn’t exist for me, I never think about it. I’m still hungry, I want to play three or four more years,” said the veteran midfielder.

“The Europa League final? The atmosphere leading up to it and during the match was fantastic. Despite the result, it was still an extraordinary experience.”

“Mourinho? He is a great coach and I am happy to have played with him at three different clubs. He’s a fantastic coach and he will always have my respect.”
