“I will stay”: Jose Mourinho pledges his future to Roma after winning the ECL final

Jose Mourinho silences his critics

Roma defeated Feyenoord 1-0 in the Europa Conference League final in Tirana. Its manager, Jose Mourinho, came to the Arena Kombetare looking for his sixth European trophy, having previously won the Champions League with Porto and Inter Milan, as well as the UEFA Cup and the Europa League with Manchester United.

The Giallorossi won their first European title since the Anglo-Italian Cup in 1972, thanks to his team’s efforts. Mourinho’s first season at Roma has not been easy, but he will see this as vindication. He needed to leave on a strong note after finishing sixth in Serie A, one point behind his bitter rivals Lazio.

A goal against the flow of play, long spells of tenacious defense, and two yellow cards for late timewasting: Roma’s first triumph under Mourinho could not have come at a better time. Given that he appeared to have struck his managerial bottom with a 6-1 loss to Bodo/Glimt in October, winning the Europa Conference League may be the start of a late-career revival.
