AS Roma hero Aldair expects coach Jose Mourinho to leave at the end of the season.

The Brazilian is also sorry hearing sporting director Tiago Pinto will depart in February.

He said at a Panini function: "It's difficult to say whether Mou will stay... There was already talk of a farewell in the summer, for me it will be difficult for him to stay.

"On Tiago Pinto, it's a surprise to me that he's leaving, what he could do he did, Roma always had little money but he always did his thing. I'm sorry he's leaving."

Aldair added: "The main objective remains the Champions League... The other teams, however, I am thinking of Torino, Bologna and Fiorentina, are playing very well.

"They are teams that many did not expect so high, but Roma's objective remains the same also because Inter and Juventus are too far away."
