“WE MADE HISTORY’ –Jose Mourinho after winning the Conference league title with AS Roma.
The Europa Conference League was added to UEFA’s plan and classification in 2021-22, with European football’s governing body desire to extend opportunities to grace a continental stage to as many teams as possible.
It was Nicolo Zaniolo’s 32nd-minute goal — it was enough for Roma to be crowned champions in the inaugural season of the Europa Conference League.
However, while Mourinho made history as the only coach to ever win all three of the major UEFA men’s club competitions — Roma on the other hand, achieved its first ever European glory.
“The Special One” led AS Roma to win the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League title on Wednesday — his first trophy since the 2017 Europa League triumph with Manchester United.
