Jose Mourinho revels in Roma's 'truly special' Europa Conference League win

An emotional Jose Mourinho celebrated what he called a "very special" achievement having become the only second manager to win five major European titles as his Roma side clinched the Europa Conference League on Wednesday.

Mourinho, who had previously won the Champions League, Europa League and the Uefa Cup, completed a unique European trophy haul as Roma beat Feyenoord 1-0 in Tirana to ensure he could add the inaugural Conference League to his collection.

That is five European finals for Porto, Inter Milan, Manchester United and Roma since 2003 that Mourinho has coached in and five times he has taken home the trophy. He matches the achievement of legendary Italian coach Giovanni Trapattoni, who won the European Cup, Cup Winners' Cup and Uefa Cup with Juventus, as well as a Uefa Cup in charge of Inter Milan.

"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," Mourinho said.

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

"This remains in the history of Roma, but also mine. I was told only I, Sir Alex [Ferguson] and Giovanni Trapattoni won trophies in three different decades. It makes me feel a little old, but it's nice for my career."
