Mourinho who has already won the Champions League, Europa League and the UEFA Cup hopes to add the Europa league to his cabinet.

“If I win, I will become the first one to win all European trophies, but that’s only if I win,” Mourinho told reporters on Tuesday.

“The ‘Special One’ story is an old story. It was when I was at the beginning [of my career]. When you have more maturity and stability, you think more about the people and less about yourself.

“It’s an old story. I don’t believe in magic. When you arrive at a final after a season of work, the work is done. It’s the team’s moment, not the moment of an individual.”
