After winning the European Conference Championship, Mourinho appeared crying once more. He cries for a few of the many inside him, so why did Mourinho cry?
Athletes are always looking for success and podiums. They cry in these moments, and they also cry in moments of failure and loss, but the fall is an incentive for them to get up and come back once more. When they reach and pass the brink of glory, they shed tears of joy.
The greats in the history of sports whose tears were a reflection of all the difficulties they went through in order to achieve titles. On the night of the European Conference League final, the new tournament in Europe, whose first season started in 2021-2022, Roma won, and won a title, which is the first European titleBut it is the fifth for his Portuguese coach, Jose Mourinho, who shed tears twice, following the victory in the final, and following qualifying for the final at the expense of Leicester City, but the question: Why did Mourinho cry?
Mourinho may have cried because he went through very difficult years, from mastering Europe with Inter Milan in 2010, to one of the most important competing coaches in the world with Real Madrid, and before him Chelsea and Porto, to a coach who is blamed even though he won 3 titles with Manchester United, from Including the European League, and achieved second place in the English Premier League, to a “miserable” coach suffering in Tottenham, He was fired from coaching the “Spurs”.

Mourinho looked as if he wanted to say with tears that he is still thirsty for competition and achieving titles, because he wants to prove his presence among the greats. There is no doubt that there is a spark inside him that motivates him to try to take Roma further from the European Conference League, and it is not easy to play 5 European finals and win them.
Mourinho has not lost his desire to compete. He cried because he lived through a lot of pressure. The “blatant” man in the face of the media is, following all, a human being. Mourinho does not like failure, and to tell the truth: “Success is worthy of the Special One.”
After the semi-final match and his tears following qualifying, Jose said: “I cried because my feelings were with everyone who loves this club. I was fortunate to have played in more important finals than that, but in terms of the way we created this family atmosphere here, it makes me feel That I’m special.”
Mourinho in Rome Born Again
Mourinho chose Rome in search of a little calm. He wanted to get away from all the pressures in England, but the camera loves him and the news follows him. In the Italian capital, things were calmer. The environment there is ready for Jose to build a team without tensions. He even mitigated his “stinging” answers in press conferences, and tried to win the hearts of his players, to return to the fore once more, and this is what happened following his crowning championship Its value has not increased yet, especially since it is a new tournament (UEFA Europa Conference League). Apart from its importance, a large percentage sings of Mourinho’s “Special One”. He occupied the means of communication, as if everyone loved him from his opponents and from the fans of his club and his fans.
From the first day in Rome, Mourinho knew it took some time. His start in the Italian league was good and promising, but the results declined. Therefore, Mourinho turned his sights to European success, albeit simple. Despite this, he secured the qualifying seat for the European League without relying on the European crown, as he finished the season in sixth place.
With the modest level of the clubs participating in the modern European championship, Mourinho may have thought that some discipline and the ability to organize the ranks would be appropriate to win the title, which was eventually achieved.

But the European crown with Roma opened a new page in the Portuguese coach’s history. Mourinho played 5 European finals, winning all of them, and became the first coach to win European titles with 4 different clubs.
Mourinho was crowned with Porto in the Champions League from his first participation in the tournament, and he was also crowned with the same team with the European League title from his first participation in the tournament. Mourinho won the Champions League twice, the European League twice, and concluded his titles by achieving 5/5, leading Roma to the historic title.
The Portuguese coach is not planning to leave Roma, and is looking forward to next season with the team. He said: “I’m staying without a doubt, even if there is some speculation, I want to stay with Roma. We have to understand what the owners of the club want, and they are great. We can build a strong project with really professional people.”
“I feel like I belong to Roma, but maybe that’s my way of working. I’m a fan of Porto, Inter and Chelsea and I adore Real Madrid. Now, I’m a fan of Roma. I belong to all these clubs, because we spent time together.”
