Mourinho not focused on legacy after leading Roma to Europa League final

Jose Mourinho said he was not concerned with etching his name in Roma's history books after leading his side to a second straight European final with a 1-0 aggregate win over Bayer Leverkusen after their Europa League semi-final, second leg on Thursday.

The Portuguese, who won the second-tier European club competition in 2017 with Manchester United, led Roma to the Europa Conference League title last season.

The visitors were on the backfoot for the entire game and had to survive intense pressure from the Germans, who missed a lot of chances and also hit the woodwork, as Roma advanced thanks to last week's 1-0 win in Italy.

They will play Sevilla in the final on May 31 in Budapest.

"My concern isn't marking my place in the Roma history books," Mourinho told Sky Sport.

"It's helping these kids [players] to grow, to achieve important things," he said. "It's also helping the Roma fans who have given me so much since day one. It's an immense joy to get to another final.

"The boys give everything, this game is the result of our work, experience, tactical wisdom and knowing how to stay in matches. It's an incredible team."
