Jose Mourinho's 5th European title to "remain immortal" at Roma

The Hindu  

José Mourinho, the once self-proclaimed "Special One," might be better described as a "Man of the People" now. After winning nearly everywhere he's been, most recently with European powers Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United, bringing Roma its first continental trophy in more than six decades has a different feeling. “It's one thing to win when everyone expects you to win, when the squad is made to win, when the investments have been made to win, but it's entirely different to win things that remain immortal, that stay forever,” a teary-eyed Mourinho said following Roma's 1-0 victory over Feyenoord in Tirana, Albania, on Wednesday. “That makes you feel truly special.” Roma, a three-time Serie A champion that had lost its previous two European finals, hadn't won anything at all since raising the often-neglected Italian Cup trophy 14 years earlier. I belong to all these clubs because we achieved moments like this together.” Moments like the first-half goal in the final from Nicolò Zaniolo, the talented 22-year-old midfielder who Mourinho clashed with at the start of the season as he returned from two serious knee injuries, one of which kept him out for all of last season and prevented him from taking part in Italy's run to the European Championship title.
