Roma, on Wednesday, won their first major European trophy by beating Feyenoord in the inaugural Europa Conference League final.
Jose Mourinho’s first season in charge of the Italians ended with a trophy after Nicolo Zaniolo chested down Gianluca Mancini’s lofted pass before beating goalkeeper Justin Bijlow with a clever flick.
Mourinho, who has won the Champions League, Europa League and the UEFA Cup, on Wednesday, became the first manager to win all of UEFA’s major European trophies.

Feyenoord, whose campaign started in the qualifying rounds back in July, were denied an equaliser when Roma goalkeeper, Rui Patricio, tipped Tyrell Malacia’s attempt on to the bar soon after Mancini inadvertently hit his own post while trying to make a clearance.
Speaking on the win, Mourinho said: “I’ve been at Roma for 11 months, I knew the moment I arrived what it meant to the people. They had been waiting for something like this.
“This was not work tonight, this was history. We had to write history. We wrote it.”
He further confirmed that he would be staying at Roma next season to build on the solid work done in his debut season.
“I am staying, there’s no doubt about that.
“We need to see what our owners, who are fantastic people, want to do next season because this is history, but we can build a special project.
“Now I’m going to go on holiday, sit on the beach and think about it all for a while,” the manager stated.
