José Mourinho has reached the milestone of 1,000 games coached. He was flying like a young man when he scored the winner!

AS Rome has come alive under the Portuguese strategist! After three games played, he dominates the Italian Serie A with full points. But against Sassuolo, it was a game of more than 3 points. It was the 1000th professional match coached by the legendary José Mourinho and the story of the match offered a cinematic ending!

Cristante sent the Romans into the lead in the 37th minute and after half-time the visitors replied with a goal from Djuricic.

AS’s victory was only decided in injury time by substitute El Shaarawy and the experienced coach could not hold on!

“ I told the team that the 1,000th match was not important for me, but I was afraid of losing. Luckily we won and I was flying like a child. At that moment I felt like a 12-year-old.”

Mourinho has often been criticised in recent years, but looking at his career numbers to date, even the biggest critic has to acknowledge his qualities.

the 58-year-old Portuguese deserves respect in the slightest.

In his professional career he has coached 1000 matches and won 639! What about trophies? He’s won 25 of them and has his eye on more.
