Roma & England striker Abraham responds to 'uncle' Mourinho being lined up by Portugal


Tammy Abraham has said he is not surprised by his Roma manager, Jose Mourinho, being lined up by Portugal.

Mourinho, who has won major silverware at Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid and Manchester United, is being lined up by his country to replace Fernando Santos.

There have been suggestions that the 59-year-old could combine roles with Portugal and Roma.

Abraham hopes that Mourinho will remain part of the long-term planning at Stadio Olimpico.

He told Gazzetta dello Sport of his in-demand boss: “He is a great coach, and of course, everyone wants him.

“It’s an honour that an important country like Portugal chases him. I am sure the coach is focused on Roma.

“We’ve read many things, but we didn’t talk about them and Mourinho has always tried to make us improve, we are focused on the season.”
