Jose Mourinho is targeting his 14th major cup final win as a manager having come out on top in all five of his European finals so far.
The ‘Special One’ will lead Roma (2/1) into the Europa League final on Wednesday night in Budapest, where he will be bidding for a 14th win from 17 major cup finals.
Excluding those considered to be non-major trophies, for example, the Community Shield and Super Cup, he has won eight of his 11 domestic finals as a manager and all five European finals.
Jose Mourinho's Roma won the inaugural Europea Conference League last year beating Feyenoord 1-0, in doing so and due to this win Mourinho completed a unique European cup hat-trick having already won the Champions League and Europa League.

Incredibly, Henrik Larsson is the last player to score against a Mourinho side in a European cup final, which takes you back to the UEFA Cup final between Porto and Celtic in May 2003.
In fact, a 1-0 defeat for his Manchester United team against Chelsea in the 2018 FA Cup final remains the only time Mourinho has lost a cup final inside 90 minutes.
The other two occasions where he came out second best were the Portuguese Cup final with Porto in 2004 and Copa del Rey final with Real Madrid in 2013, with both defeats coming after extra time.
Mourinho will be hoping his star foward Pablo Dybala will be fit enough versus Sevilla. The 29-year-old former Juventus forward has been influential since his move to Roma, with 22 goals in all competitions and scoring four goals in the Europa League in just 10 games.
