Jose Mourinho will aim to extend his perfect record in European finals when his Roma side face Feyenoord in the inaugural Europa Conference League final on Wednesday.
The Portuguese has won all four of his finals – two with Porto and one apiece with Inter Milan and Manchester United.
In Tirana, Albania, he will become the first manager to lead four different teams in a European final.
Feyenoord have not reached a European final since winning the 2002 Uefa Cup.
Arne Slot’s side, who finished third in the Dutch Eredivisie, have the Conference League’s leading scorer in Cyriel Dessers with 10 goals.
However, Tammy Abraham, who has enjoyed a stellar first season with Roma after joining from Chelsea, has scored nine.
The England striker has 27 goals in all competitions, including two on the final day of the Serie A season against Torino to seal sixth place and Europa League qualification.
Abraham also scored the only goal in the second leg of Roma’s semi-final victory over Leicester.
Roma have not won a trophy since lifting the Italian Cup in 2008 and not won a European trophy since the Fairs Cup – the predecessor to the Uefa Cup/Europa League – in 1961.
“For me it’s not a little cup,” said Abraham in response to suggestions that the Conference League pales in comparison to Europe’s two established tournaments.
“I believe every final is a final, no matter what competition it is. You get to the final, you want to win the final.
“It’s a trophy and these are the moments you look back on in your career, saying you want to win trophies.”
