Roma head coach Jose Mourinho has announced that he will be starring in an upcoming Netflix documentary.

Mourinho broke the news after Roma's 2-1 win over Cremonense on Wednesday night, in response to rumours that he will be leaving the club.

First of all, the former Chelsea manager was asked about reports that he will become the new head coach of the Brazil national team.

"I don’t know if it’s true or not about Brazil, because they did not speak directly to me," he responded.

"I told my agent that until the club has decided if I am staying or not, I don’t want to know or talk to anyone else."

Then, Mourinho spoke on rumours that Roma's hierarchy are going behind his back to find a replacement.

"I honestly don’t believe it is true, because for me the honesty and reciprocity are essential," he added.

"I have no reason to think the Friedkin family are not honest, that they do not understand reciprocity the way I do. I trust their honesty 100 per cent.

"That does not mean they want me here, but I do not believe that they are talking behind my back with other coaches. I will tell you why."

"I am giving you some news here – my Netflix series starts next week," Mourinho continued.

"It is covering my whole career, things I never told people. In that series, you will discover I am completely insane.

"I had not yet signed for Roma, but had given my word to Roma. I received an offer from a club, I won’t say which, I did say it in the series, who wanted me to break my word with Roma and I refused.

"When I received the offer from Portugal, from Saudi Arabia, the first person I told was my President. I do not believe they are talking about other coaches behind my back. I think all the rumours that are coming out are not true.

"I believe in reciprocity. I did it for them, they will do it for me."
