      And the Roma head coach is understood to have turned down any discussions about the position.
      Instead, the ex-Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs boss wants to hold talks with Roma chief Dan Friedkin in a bid to iron out his long-term future.
      Mourinho, 60, who won three Premier League titles with Chelsea across his two spells at Stamford Bridge, has a contract with the Italian giants until the end of the 2023/24 campaign.
      But he could yet extend his stay with the Serie A club – where he lifted the Europa Conference League last season.

      I partied until 6am the night before my Arsenal debut, then scored a hat-trick after three hours sleep

      by

      JERMAINE PENNANT has lifted the lid on his full Arsenal debut by revealing he was out partying until 6am on the day of the clash.The ex-Liverpool star featured as a late substitute during a 3-2 defeat to Leeds in the 2002/03 season and believed he would not play again for the rest of the campaign.

      However, to his surprise, Arsene Wenger chucked the then 19-year-old into the starting XI, where he rewarded the Frenchman’s faith by banging in a hat-trick in a 6-1 win over Southampton.
      But Pennant revealed he could still feel the vodka in his stomach during the clash which was the penultimate game of that season.
      Speaking to Four Four Two, Pennant said: “I’d been out the night before and had a big night, because I really didn’t think I would be playing, never mind starting the game.
      “I’d never started a game for Arsenal and I didn’t think that’d change, especially as Robert Pires, Freddie Ljungberg and Ray Parlour were all in the squad. I was guaranteed to be on the bench.

      “I thought, ‘Sod it’, went to an FHM party and got home at around 6am. I couldn’t believe it when I saw my name in the starting line-up!
      “I was still so hungover when I was playing; I just did everything in my power not to embarrass myself.
      “I can’t believe I scored. It was just a huge relief – I thought, ‘OK, you can take me off now. Please, Arsene!’
      “I felt so sick and I could feel the vodka still bouncing around in my stomach. You could smell it on my breath, too.

      “I did OK to score a hat-trick: it shows I had talent, though it helps when you’re playing with Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira. That was the first game of Arsenal’s 49-game unbeaten run.”
      Despite his starring display against the Saints, Pennant failed to make the grade at Arsenal.
      He was shipped off on a season-long loan to Leeds for the entirety of the 2003/04 campaign that the Gunners went unbeaten, before joining Birmingham in 2005 following a loan spell. More

      “I mean R9 (Ronaldo) a legend of the game. Neymar has done very well for himself but why would you get him tattooed?
      “Neymar is an outstanding player but it’s weird, he’s still playing. 
      “I mean if it was like people who have retired I would get it, but Neymar’s his team-mate.”
      And Richards did not stop there, claiming: “It’s like me getting a tattoo of Daniel Sturridge.

      Speaking to GQ Sports about the tattoo in February, Richarlison explained: “Ronaldo was my hero when I first started football.
      “Neymar is of my generation, but a few years ahead of me. I wanted to play like him and have the same hair.

      Kai Havertz reveals Chelsea squad left baffled after Thomas Tuchel was ‘sacked out of nowhere’ leading to dismal season

      by

      KAI HAVERTZ has revealed he was left baffled by Thomas Tuchel’s sacking “out of nowhere”. Just 16 months after leading Chelsea to the Champions League, the German boss was dismissed as the ownership looked to stamp their authority.

      But the Blues’ awkward start to the season under Tuchel was about as good as things would get in the entire campaign.
      Graham Potter’s failed to get things going as Chelsea languished in mid-table before he was dismissed after only eight months.
      Before Frank Lampard took over as caretaker and lost his first five games.
      Chelsea striker Havertz has given his assessment of the disastrous campaign and revealed that the early sacking did not help the squad.

      He told Kicker: “Everything that can go wrong went wrong for us this year.
      “The season actually started relatively quietly. We had a change of ownership which was a big change for the club.
      “And then Thomas Tuchel was fired, which of course always makes a difference in a team like this when you’ve been successful with a coach and he gets fired out of nowhere.
      “Now we have our backs to the wall and are not [doing] very well in the table.

      “Of course it’s easy to find excuses. I’m not a fan of blaming everything on something else. At the end of the day, we’re all professional footballers and we have to win a game sometimes.”
      Chelsea travel to Arsenal tonight looking to put a further spanner into their London rival’s title dreams.

      And Havertz hopes to frustrate the Gunners.
      He added: “We hope to tease Arsenal a little bit. They’re in the title fight now, which is where we want to be. And if you can beat your opponent, that’s always good for the fans.”
      With nothing to play for, Chelsea have a further five dead rubbers before their miserable season ends.
      The Blues currently sit 12th in the table and risk falling further.
      Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is widely expected to take over at Stamford Bridge in the coming weeks. More

      Jurgen Klopp finally reveals what Paul Tierney said to anger him during Liverpool’s thrilling win over Tottenham

      by

      LIVERPOOL boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed what Paul Tierney said to him during Sunday’s game against Tottenham. Klopp raged at the officials during the thrilling 4-3 encounter at Anfield.

      He launched a scathing verbal assault on referee Tierney after the match, fuming: “We have our history with Tierney, I really don’t know what he has against us.
      “He has said there [are] no problems but that cannot be true.”
      And this came after Klopp charged at fourth official John Brooks following Diogo Jota’s late winner – with him appearing to suffer an injury in the process.
      But the Reds boss has now revealed what Tierney said to him to trigger his anger.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Speaking to reporters ahead of Wednesday’s match against Fulham, Klopp said: “Paul Tierney came over to me, I didn’t expect for a second a red card, and he said: ‘For me it’s a red card but because of him (the fourth official) it’s a yellow’.”
      The comments post-match left PGMOL bosses, who ar ein charge of refereeing, fuming, with Klopp set to be hit with an FA ban.
      In a statement, the body said: “PGMOL is aware of the comments made by Jurgen Klopp after his side’s fixture with Tottenham Hotspur.
      “Match officials in the Premier League are recorded in all games via a communications system.

      “Having fully reviewed the audio of referee Paul Tierney from today’s fixture, we can confirm he acted in a professional manner throughout including when issuing the caution to the Liverpool manager.
      “So, therefore, we strongly refute any suggestion that Tierney’s actions were improper.”
      However, Klopp admitted his temper got the better of him in the exchange and revealed he expected to land a reprimand as a consequence of his actions.
      He added: “I know Paul Tierney is not doing this on purpose, absolutely not, but we have this history. It hasn’t happened intentionally but it’s still there.
      “I really regret the headlines I created. I have no clue what happens now. We haven’t heard anything yet.
      “I probably have to expect a punishment. The red card I got against City was in the same spot, foul against the same player, Mo Salah.”
      Regardless, Ref Support UK CEO Martin Cassidy has urged the FA to slap Liverpool with a POINTS DEDUCTION because of Klopp’s comments.
      He told the Express: “Unless the FA start addressing this behaviour with a points deduction it will never change.
      “Giving Liverpool a £30,000 fine is nothing. Start giving them points deductions and watch them shut up and behave.

      “We believe that will be one of the silver bullets right across football to address right up from grassroots to the Premier League.
      “There have been touchline bans for decades, but it’s not getting better, it’s getting worse.” More
