Beaten finalists last season, Roma make their Europa League return on Thursday, as they make the trip to Transnistria for their Group G opener against Sheriff Tiraspol.
ေအာက္ကၾကိဳက္တဲ့Liveကိုနွိပ္ၾကည့္ပါ ပြဲခ်ိန္နီးမွၾကည့္ရပါမယ္
While the Giallorossi lost out to Sevilla in last term's showpiece, Moldovan champions Sheriff have never before progressed to the last 16.
However, the veteran tactician's love affair with the Eternal City continues into the final year of his contract, and he will now get another shot at adding the trophy to Roma's Europa Conference League crown of 2022.
After a slow start to the new Serie A season, in which the Giallorossi picked up just one point from their first three games, new signing Romelu Lukaku scored on his first start for the club in Sunday's 7-0 thumping of Empoli, with strike partner Paulo Dybala coming close to completing a hat-trick.
Although Dybala's second-half free-kick struck the bar, Roma roared past their timid Tuscan opponents at Stadio Olimpico, and Lukaku now returns to a competition in which has found the net in each of his last 11 appearances - that represents the longest such streak of any player in Europa League or UEFA Cup history.
As Mourinho is a past master at navigating continental competition, and Roma have progressed from their group in all five previous Europa League appearances, he will surely expect to reach the last 16 without too much fuss this time around.
