Jose Mourinho will be desperate to add yet another piece of silverware to his hugely impressive trophy cabinet when his Roma side take on Sevilla in the Europa League final 2022/23.
And who would bet against the 60 year-old doing just that, given Mourinho boasts a simply extraordinary record in major finals as a manager.
But exactly how many finals has Mourinho won during his spell in the game and, more specifically, how has he fared in his previous European finals?
Let’s take a look at his record as he prepares his Roma troops to do battle against Sevilla in Budapest.
What is Jose Mourinho’s record in finals?
Mourinho has won 18 of the 21 finals he has contested as a manager.
This gives the Portuguese icon a hugely impressive 86% win record in major finals.
After winning the first 13 finals of his career, Mourinho’s first defeat in a showpiece arrived in the UEFA Super Cup with Chelsea in 2013.
Bayern Munich scored in the final minute of extra-time to send the match to penalties, which the Bavarians won 5-4 after Romelu Lukaku missed his spotkick for the Blues.
The UEFA Super Cup was the scene once again for Mourinho’s second defeat in a final in 2017.
His Manchester United team, who qualified having triumphed in the Europa League the previous season, were beaten 2-1 by Real Madrid in North Macedonia.
Chelsea inflicted the third loss of Mourinho’s career when he took charge of Manchester United in the FA Cup final in 2018.
A first half penalty from Eden Hazard was enough to separate the two sides at Wembley.

What is Jose Mourinho’s record in European finals?
Mourinho has won all five of the European finals he has managed in.
He won the Champions League with Porto in 2004 before repeating the trick with Inter Milan in 2010.
Along with the Europa League triumph with United, Mourinho also won the Europa League when it was branded as the UEFA Cup in 2003 with Porto.
His fifth title on the continental stage saw him clinch the Europa Conference League with Roma last season.
In fact, it has been twenty years since a Mourinho side conceded a goal in a European final, with Henrik Larsson netting twice for Celtic in that UEFA Cup clash against Porto.
Mourinho is the only manager to have won all three of UEFA’s major club competitions.
