Jose Mourinho has developed a reputation of ‘parking the bus’ on the football pitch as far as his tactics is concerned, but how good is the Portuguese tactician on an actual bus?

Mourinho was the mastermind on Wednesday, May 25, as his Roma side came up with the goods to win against Feyenoord in the inaugural final of the Europa Conference League.

A solitary goal from Nicolo Zaniolo in the first half was enough for Roma to claim a crucial win, as Mourinho maintained his perfect record in European finals.

At full time, Mourinho exhibited just how much the trophy meant to him as he burst into tears but after the extremely high emotions, it was time to party.

In the video on the bus, Mourinho, who was clearly in jovial mood, drives along as Roma players sing his name in the back.

He eventually comes to an abrupt stop before breaking down in laughter.

Fans online managed to see the funny side to the whole incident, with some saying had Mourinho gone any further, he would have crashed the bus.

"That's genuinely too funny, he almost crashed it." One fan said.
“No better man to park a bus. How do you not love this guy?" another added.
"For some reason I can't stop watching this. Jose is living his best life." Said another.

Mourinho immortalized by fans

Elsewhere, Mourinho won the hearts of Roma fans following the victory in the Europa Conference League, and he was immortalized in Rome using a stunning Mural.

The mural had an image of Mourinho dressed as a Roman emperor holding the Europa Conference League trophy unveiled after wild celebrations.

The European Conference League trophy is Mourinho’s 5th European trophy as a manager and his 4th with four different teams.
