During his time at AS Roma, Jose Mourinho has been an inspirational and possibly tough coach. The Portuguese has stated that as he is constrained by a lack of transfer money, winning the Europa League title would be a feat with Jose Mourinho’s resources.
But his captain, Lorenzo Pellegrini, thanked his employer for his assistance in guiding the team to their second consecutive European final.
Last season, Mourinho became the first manager in history to win the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League titles, prompting him to get a tattoo to mark his singular success.
That victory earned Roma a berth in the Europa League, and a win over Sevilla on Wednesday night would guarantee them a place in the Champions League the following season. That may be enough to persuade Mourinho to remain another year at the Stadio Olimpico, or it could be a hint for him to go on a high note.
Roma may not have reached the heights of Juventus or AC Milan, but they have a long list of achievements to their name.
They’ve won three Serie A crowns, nine Coppa Italias, and the Europa Conference League last year. However, they have yet to win the Europa League or the Champions League. Can Mourinho resolve one or both of these issues?
First leg: San Siro – Inter Milan 2-0 Roma; second leg: Stadio Olimpico – Roma 1-0 Inter Milan (Inter Milan win 2-1 on aggregate).
Inter Milan defeated Roma 2-0 in the opening leg of the UEFA Cup at the San Siro in front of 68,8887 fans. Lothar Matthaus and Nicola Berti scored for Giovanni Trapattoni’s side in the second half.
Ottavio Bianchi led his team to a 1-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico thanks to a late goal from Ruggiero Rizzitelli, but it was not enough to seal the aggregate triumph in front of 70,901 fans.
