The former Chelsea boss, who won the Conference League with Roma two years ago and is still the only tactician with all three major European titles, knows what he's talking about

If anyone knows how it's getting done, then it's him - Mr. Special One.

To this day, Jose Mourinho is the only living football coach with all three major European titles (Champions League, Europa League, Conference League) and a Chelsea legend. Therefore, he's definitely a person to talk to when it comes to tonight's UEFA Conference League final between "his" Blues and Real Betis.

Although the odds say that the Stamford Bridge outfit is a massive favourite to lift the trophy in Wroclaw, Mou warns Enzo Maresca and the Blues about Manuel Pellegrini's side.

"But, attention with Betis. I think Betis can compete," said Mourinho, speaking at the League Managers Association awards dinner:

"They have a team, they have an experienced coach, they have a great mentality too, so I think it is going to be a good final."

Mou, currently in charge of Fenerbahce, believes that Chelsea would rather be competing for the Champions League ahead of Wednesday night's Conference League final but has told his former club it would still be an 'amazing' achievement to win that silverware.

Champions League qualification for next season has been secured via the Premier League and Chelsea are returning to the place they want to be.

"I think Chelsea is a club that wants to win Champions Leagues, not Conference Leagues, but it is a trophy.

"To be the only club in the world to get all three (major UEFA club trophies) is amazing," Mourinho encouraged his former club.
