Roma winner of the Europa League Conference: the Roman people in fusion, Mourinho even more in history

Fifth European final and fifth trophy for José Mourinho.

After Porto (C3, 2003, C1 2004), Inter Milan (C1 2010), Manchester United (C3 2017), the Portuguese technician now shines on the continent with AS Roma.

The 59-year-old coach completed a unique European record by beating Feyenoord Rotterdam (1-0) in Tirana to clinch the first conference Europa League in history.

"What's great about my career is that apart from the Europa League with Manchester United, doing it with Porto, Inter and Roma is very, very, very special," Mourinho said.

"It's one thing to win when everyone expects it, when you've made the investments to win, but it's another to win when there's something a little immortal in the air. , it makes you feel special”.

"It makes me feel a bit old, but it's good for my career"

More than 50,000 people had gathered at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome in front of giant screens to follow this shock.

AS Roma sold the proceeds of this home broadcast to charities when the evening obviously ended on an invasion of the lawn.

“It remains in the history of Roma, but also in mine.

I have been told that only me, Sir Alex (Ferguson) and Giovanni Trapattoni have won trophies in three different decades.

It makes me feel a bit old, but it's good for my career.
