José Mourinho’s European milestones

Inter’s 2010 season brought three major titles together: Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League. Mourinho’s side completed the treble with a 2–0 victory over Bayern Munich in Madrid on 22 May. The three trophies were secured within 17 days, a concentrated finish to a defining season in his managerial career.

A different European chapter followed with Roma in 2022. A 1–0 win against Feyenoord in Tirana secured the inaugural Europa Conference League title. With that result, Mourinho became the first coach to win the Champions League, UEFA Cup/Europa League and Conference League. Explore the trophies and winning seasons behind these milestones.
