Jose Mourinho\u2019s Roma became the first team to win the maiden edition of the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) following a 1-0 win over Feyenoord at the National Arena in Tirana, Albania on Wednesday night.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The historic first-ever UECL final was decided by Nikolo Zaniolo\u2019s first-half goal on a night Mourinho became the first-ever coach to win all UEFA club competition trophies.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old Portuguese coach, who maintained his winning record in European finals, has previously won the UEFA Champions League and Europa League titles.<\/p>

Following a cagey start to the encounter, Roma took the lead in the 32nd minute through Zaniolo, as the Italian attacker reacted first to a Gianluca Mancini\u2019s cross which was misjudged by a Feyenoord defender before flicking it beyond the goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

Feyenoord came out attacking at the start of the second half, hitting the bar twice in quick succession with Rui Patricio, Roma goalkeeper, denying the Rotterdam club on several occasions.<\/p>\n

Roma held on in the latter stages to secure their first trophy in 14 years since winning the Coppa Italia in 2008.<\/p>\n
