Jose Mourinho made European football history as he became the first manager in football to have won all five European finals he’s been involved in; the first manager to win a European trophy with four different clubs as well as ended Roma's trophy drought with a 1-0 victory against Feyenoord during the inaugural Europa Conference League (UECL).
A first-half strike from Nicolo Zaniolo in Wednesday’s final at the Albanian capital of Tirana was enough to clinch the 26th honour of Mourinho’s career, and Roma's first trophy in 14 years, having last tasted silverware when they won the Coppa Italia in 2008.
An emotional Jose Mourinho celebrated what he called a historic achievement having become the second manager to win five major European titles after Giovanni Trapattoni.
According to the Portuguese boss, "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 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.
"Now I am staying, there are no doubts. Even if some rumours emerge, I only want to remain at Roma.
"We must understand what our owners, who are fantastic people, want to do next season because this is history, but we can build a really strong project with honest professionals.
