Five European finals, five trophies! That’s the summary of Jose Mourinho’s both coaching work and mentality, as the Special One won another title, this time with AS Roma in the maiden Europa Conference League.The Italian side defeated Feyenoord 1-0 in the tense finals played in the Albanian capital of Tirana on Wednesday night. Mourinho became only the third tactician to win a trophy in three different European competitions.✅ Champions League✅ Europa LeagueJOSÉ MOURINHO WINS THE FIRST EUROPA CONFERENCE LEAGUE TROPHY WITH ROMA 🏆 pic.twitter.com/ZfhbSVCHEL— B/R Football (@brfootball) May 25, 2022 It wasn’t too promising after the first 20-30 minutes, as both sides couldn’t create some solid goal-scoring opportunities. The very first resulted in a 1-0 Roma lead. It was a long cross towards Zaniolo, while Trauner miscalculated the ball’s trajectory, and suddenly Giallorosi found themselves in a chance to score. Zaniolo’s perfect chip ended in the back of the net for an ecstatic celebration, excluding Mourinho, who seemed to try to calm things as he was aware there was plenty of action left.And the Portuguese tactician was more than right, as the Dutch outfit looked impeccable after returning from the half-time break. Mourinho’s team was shivering amid various Feyenoord attacks and shots from Sinisterra and his teammates, but experienced custodian Rui Patricio saved the favourites with a couple of superb saves.Jose Mourinho – THE SPECIAL ONE!#UCL🏆 2004🏆 2010#UEL🏆 2003🏆 2017#UECL🏆 2022 pic.twitter.com/KPHYnMCME1— Tomislav (@toma_juric) May 25, 2022 The game could have been killed, though, with half an hour left on the clock on the other end as Tammy Abraham found himself close to scoring. Senesi grabbed his hand as the last man of Feyenoord’s defence and should have been sent off, but the referee and VAR remained silent for unknown reasons.🔸 Delivered Roma their first UEFA European trophy in his first season 🔸 First manager to win the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League🔸 First manager to win a European trophy with four different clubsThis is José Mourinho. pic.twitter.com/XVjB5wa15Y— Próxima Jornada (@ProximaJornada1) May 25, 2022 Time was running up, but the slot from the Netherlands – known for its aggressiveness and many goals scored in the previous Conference League rounds – was effortlessly looking at the trophy moving away from them.Mourinho focused solely on defending, and it paid off big time, as Giallorosi controlled the rest of the match and deservedly won the first-ever Conference League.EUROPA CONFERENCE LEAGUE – FINALRoma – Feyenoord 1-0 (1-0)/Zaniolo 31/
