Roma coach Jose Mourinho had a funny reaction when he was told by seasoned sports journalist, Oma Akatuga that he was famous in Nigeria.

Known popularly as the Special One, Mourinho will make another attempt at a European medal when his side faces Sevilla in the Europa League finals later today.

Responding to questions at the pre-match press conference, Mourinho flashed a big grin when he was told of the love Nigerians had for him.

Mr Atatuga, who is a UEFA-licensed journalist went further to ask the former Spurs coach why he thought he wasn't successful at the club.

"In Roma they didn't sack me before the finals and in Tottenham, they sacked me before the finals at Wembley. Roma gave me the chance to win the finals and at Tottenham I had no chance.
