This is my worst-ever start – Mourinho reacts to Roma’s 4-1 defeat to Genoa

Roma manager, Jose Mourinho, has said this is “the worst start to a season as manager”.

The Serie A team sit in 16th place after recording just one win in their opening six league games.

Mourinho’s men also have the third-worst defensive record in Serie A this season, with 11 goals conceded.

Roma’s latest setback came on Thursday in a humiliating 4-1 defeat at Genoa.

“It’s also the worst start of my career, but I think it was also the first time in Roma’s history that we played two European finals in a row,” Mourinho told a news conference.

“You can cry internally because it hurts your heart, also because of my relationship with Roma fans it affects me even more, because it is not a personal issue but also a general one that makes me feel this way.”
