With a few new faces and a radically different philosophy, he’s turned Feyenoord into an energetic, high-pressing side who’ve outscored everyone else in the competition. He took on the challenge of getting Roma back to winning trophies, and is now just one step away from seeing it through. With six goals and four assists in the competition so far, he’s one of the main reasons Feyenoord are in Tirana. Feyenoord were the first Dutch club to win the European Cup – in 1970. Joining the club aged only 18, he’s already been in Rotterdam for four years. He has a unique ability to tie together the midfield and attack, and Mourinho never leaves him out.

As Roma play the Conference final, a look at a player who won European trophies with Fiorentina and Roma, in one season.

That is the story of Dino Da Costa, the man who won two European trophies in one season with two different clubs. That game before the final against Venezia turned out to be Da Costa’s last game for Roma, as he was sold to Atalanta shortly afterwards. On January 12th Da Costa scored in a 4-1 win for Roma over Juventus, and three days later he was lining out at Windsor Park in Belfast as Italy took on Northern Ireland in a crucial World Cup qualifier. That turned out to be Dino’s last game for Atalanta, and he would soon be joining up with Sivori when Juventus signed him for the following season. That former Roma target and opponent with Hibs, Joe Baker, scored a hat-trick for Torino, but his brother Gerry scored one of the City goals which gave them a 4-3 win. In the semi-final, Fiorentina hosted Juventus, with Da Costa scoring the final goal in a 3-1 win to see the Viola reach the final. That wasn’t the end of his Fiorentina adventure however, as a week later in the final of the Coppa Italia they would face Lazio in Florence. After Gianfranco Petris gave Fiorentina an early lead, the game failed to provide much more in the way of entertainment. Former Fiorentina player Lojacono had missed that game as he was expected to sign for Milan shortly and the club were unwilling to risk an injury. Once the Coppa delle Alpi was out of the way, Dino Da Costa was on his way back to Roma. Although we had now reached the 1961/62 season, the final of the previous season’s Fairs Cup had yet to be played. Fiorentina were drawn to meet Young Boys, and in the first game in Berne they suffered a 3-2 defeat, which would turn out to be the only loss by an Italian side in the competition. The forward made an immediate impact, scoring on his Serie A debut, and he also scored against Fiorentina in a 1-1 draw at the end of April. A week later Fiorentina were league champions for the first time. Tonight, Roma return to compete in a European final after 31 years, and the new Europa Conference League competition is where Fiorentina will compete next season.

In this edition of Inside Europe, Pete Sharland teams up with Stefano Fonsato from Eurosport Italy to look at the Europa Conference League final between AS Roma ...

And I think that a big part of the Italian football problem of this era, (the struggles in Europe) have their issues in this very bad mentality, without a real sports culture. And yes, I think it could take him to a new level,” says Fonsato. “It’s worth stating this: in Italy - like a big part of Europe (remember Brendan Rodgers words about Conference League?) - this competition has yet to find the right recognition. The culture around Italian football and Europe has been very interesting. “Roma's supporters are very excited, you have to consider that,” says Fonsato. “In addition to their normal - very warm – support of their team, they could live their first European triumph since 1961. In the club’s entire history they have just one European title, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup which they won 1960-61.

Former Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanić spoke to La Repubblica about a series of topics including the latest rumours linking Paulo Dybala with the capital ...

“At Juve there is a very strong front office, which puts players in the best position to win, to focus only on the pitch and nothing else. He’s doing a great job this year.” He can handle pressure situations.”

Mourinho last won a trophy in 2017, although the Roma boss believes he would have led Spurs to the EFL Cup in 2021.

“When you arrive at a final after a season of work, the work is done. “The ‘Special One’ story is an old story. - 1 x FA Cup – 2006-07 - 1 x Portuguese Cup – 2002-03 “I’ve won 25 and a half trophies,” Mourinho joked last year. I’ve made a small contribution to that.”

It was thought that the Portuguese was past his best, but 'The Special One' could make more history in Wednesday's Europa Conference League final.

As Mourinho said after the semi-final, "This is a victory of the family. The latter is a new trophy; it is obviously the least prestigious of the three. "After 30 years, the fans of Rome can enjoy seeing their team in a European final. Anyone who has attended a Roma home game this season would find it difficult to disagree. Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia. "He is a great player with potential to be even greater." "He takes a player and makes him stronger than he is. He is amazing and he gets inside your head. As former Portugal international Adrien Silva told GOAL, "It's surprising in one sense, because Roma was having a very difficult time before he arrived. "I understand you needed a big name, but it’s like when you sign a player who is finished. Their belief was that he could do something just as miraculous at the Stadio Olimpico. "You’ve got the worst of the worst,” Di Canio claimed. This was classic Mourinho, of course.
