Departing Roma chief Tiago Pinto admits Prem ambitions

Departing Roma sports chief Tiago Pinto admits he's open to working in England.

Pinto is leaving Roma in February.

The Portuguese has been linked with Tottenham in the past and told The Athletic: “Three years in Rome. There are not many sports directors who have the opportunity to spend three years at Roma."

On the Premier League, Pinto also said: "It's the League where everyone wants to be, whether players, coaches or executives. It's the best in the world and I would like to have that experience. Now or later.

"The most important thing at this moment is to feel what I felt at Benfica and when I came to Roma, the alignment and commitment to the people at the club. After Roma, I'm ready for anything."
