(Reuters) - AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho said he was uncertain about his future at the club following their 4-1 penalty shootout defeat in the Europa League final against Sevilla on Wednesday.
The defeat meant Roma failed to qualify for next season's Champions League and prompted questions about whether the 60-year-old would remain in the Italian capital, having been linked with Paris St Germain.
It was Mourinho's first defeat in a European final, but he said he was proud of his team's performance and acknowledged that the season had taken its toll. "We are dead tired, but proud. I always say you can lose a football match, but never your dignity or professionalism... Mourinho also criticised referee Anthony Taylor, adding that the Englishman showed too many yellow cards.
