Mourinho reveals why Conference League trophy is special to him

Former Chelsea and now AS Roma manager, Jose Mourinho in a recent statement revealed why winning the Europa Conference League was more special to him than previous European trophies he won with Manchester United, Inter Milan and Porto.

Mourinho led Roma to their first European title on Wednesday night when they defeated the Dutch side, Feyenoord 1-0 in Tirana.

The win also saw the end of Roma’s 14-year wait for a trophy as Mourinho became the first manager to win all of Uefa’s major European trophies.

Mourinho also became only the second manager after the legendary Giovanni Trapattoni to win five major European titles.

Addressing the press after the game, the emotional Portuguese said, “The great thing about my career is that, aside from the Europa League with Manchester United, doing it with Porto, Inter and Roma is very, very, very special.

“It’s one thing to win when everyone expects it, when you made the investments to win, but it’s quite another to win when something remains immortal, that feels truly special.

“I think of myself, of course, but above all the Roma fans who can celebrate tonight, enjoy themselves and remember this night forever.”
