Jose Mourinho has reportedly banned members of Roma club staff from the training ground as his team make their final preparations for the Europa League final against Sevilla.
The Portuguese boss has taken the extreme measure in order to ensure success, with Corriere Dello Sport reporting the policy was put in place on Monday. Only essential staff are believed to have been allowed into their training base for sessions this week, with just technical and medical staff permitted to enter.
Such is the magnitude of the match in Budapest on Wednesday, the move is a sign of Mourinho's superstition in the build-up to the final. He took similar measures last year in the build-up to the Europa Conference League final, which Roma won against Feyenoord to deliver their first trophy success since 2008.
