David Moyes has cited Roma coach Jose Mourinho for helping to show how 'important' winning the Europa Conference League can be, as West Ham prepare to face AZ Alkmaar in their opening semi-final match in the tournament on Thursday evening.
The former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager won the inaugural competition in 2022 with his Roma side and in doing so, become only the second manager in history to win five major European titles.
Adding the trophy to their cabinet has proved crucial to boosting Roma's prospects in both the domestic league and abroad, with the Serie A side hungry to win their second consecutive European cup as they contest in the Europa League.
