Can Mourinho claim another European trophy?

Can Mourinho claim another European trophy?
Jose Mourinho and AS Roma are chasing another European triumph as they face Bayer Leverkusen tonight.

Jose Mourinho and AS Roma were crowned UEFA Conference League winners last year after their victory over Dutch side Feyenoord. This year, they have the opportunity to win the Europa League as they are in the semi-finals against Bayer Leverkusen. As it currently appears unlikely that they will secure a top-four spot in Serie A and qualify for the Champions League, the Europa League could be their ticket to the major tournament next season. Therefore, Mourinho will be fully focused on reaching the Europa League final.

"The Special One" is one of the most successful coaches in European competitions and with another trophy, he can further etch his name into the history books.

Mourinho’s titles in Europe: 

-    2 Champions League titles (Real Madrid and FC Porto)
-    1 UEFA Cup title (FC Porto)
-    1 Europa League (Manchester United)
-    1 Conference League (AS Roma)

AS Roma has not had the season they desired and currently does not resemble a top 4 team in Serie A. Mourinho's biggest wish is to play in the Champions League, and if that doesn't happen, there may be some truth to the rumors that he is in talks with PSG to become their new manager. Regardless, Mourinho aims to win another trophy with Roma, and to do so, they must overcome German side Bayer Leverkusen over two matches. In this encounter, he will face one of his former players, Xabi Alonso, who is now the manager of the German club.
