Although the former Tottenham Hotspur boss has already taken a few training sessions at Roma, he has now officially been presented to the media as the club's new manager, having been appointed in May.
Mourinho looked calm, collected and happy during his presentation as he insisted he has not taken his career to Rome for a break.
"I want to thank the fans for their warm welcome, it was incredible as I still haven't done anything. I thank the club and the Friedkin family, the way I was welcomed was fantastic and I was impressed," he said, according to Football Italia.
"I arrived here before nothing comes from nothing and that's a very similar feeling to what I felt when I spoke to Dan and Ryan (Friedkin, Roma's owners).
"They have a clear project, they have to build a future. The word 'time' sometimes doesn't exist in football, this time it exists and it's crucial.
"Roma don't want success today, but they want a sustainable project for the future, working with passion. That's why I am here.
"Now it's time to work with my staff, the city is great, but it's not the reason why I am here because I am not on holiday.
"The symbol, the colours, have a great link with the club, sometimes you confuse Rome with Roma, we are here to work, not on holiday."

Mourinho also discussed the Roma players who are currently with the Italian national team at the 2020 UEFA European Championship, as well as the horror injury left-back Leonardo Spinazzola suffered at the tournament.
"We are all happy that these players are part of the national team, a national team that is doing really well and has 50% chances to return here as Euro champions," he added.
"I've never worked with them, but I feel they are my players. (Roma midfielder Bryan) Cristante proves the national team is full of great players and only 11 can play, (Italy manager Roberto) Mancini can't do miracles. Mancini respects Cristante and relies on Cristante.
"As for Spinazzola, it's a sad situation for all of us, but he is incredible for his joy. He is a positive person, but we won't have him for a long time, it's tough for him and for us.

"We have a young player like Riccardo Calafiori, he can be a first-team player, but we need a left-back, sorry director (Tiago Pinto)."
