Former Roma manager Jose Mourinho recently described winning the Conference League trophy with Roma as the highlight of his career.

In an interview with footballer influencer Ohm available on his YouTube channel as part of a campaign for Topps – recorded a few weeks ago while still in charge of Roma – Mourinho discussed the importance of lifting the Conference League title in a city that hadn’t won European Silverware.

“There are so many remarkable moments throughout the years,” said the Special One. “Many beautiful and many ugly ones too. But if I have to choose the greatest moment maybe I’ll say the last achievement, and the last trophy I won.”

“It is not the most important trophy I have won, but for the dimension of joy it brought and not just because it was the last, it is the Conference League won with Roma. That’s choice as of now.”

“But there have been many good things in my career, many fantastic matches to remember and it is impossible to choose one or two. There are also many bad memories, two Champions League semi-finals lost on penalties, a Europa League final lost on penalties because the referee had decided that we couldn’t win. So naturally there’s bad memories involved.”

“Players that I wanted in the past? To stay on the subject of Roma, I would have liked De Rossi at Inter and Real Madrid, but it wasn’t possible. I also wanted Totti at Inter, despite his age, and it wasn’t possible. They are always players you want to coach throughout your career.”
