Roma midfielder Jordan Veretout is looking forward to working with Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho takes charge of Roma this summer as Paulo Fonseca departs.

“He's a great coach, who has won many titles," Veretout said of Mourinho. “In Italy we remember the Treble with Inter.

“I think it comes with ambition. It's always an honour for a player to be coached by great coaches, to achieve great targets."

On Fonseca, he added: "He's a very rigorous coach and I have made a lot of progress with him. I spent two good seasons with him.

“I thank him, and I hope he finds a good club because he is a really good coach. He is humble and helpful; he has always been fair to us."
