Former Roma defender Antonio Tempestilli has called for calm heads against Sevilla in tonight's Europa League final.

Tempestilli believes Roma coach Jose Mourinho could be key.

He told Rai Radio: "The emotional factor is decisive, whoever manages to approach these matches in a more serene way takes an advantage. Mourinho is a coach capable of transmitting serenity and at the same time the energy necessary to face a final.

"We are hoping for a return to Rome with a smile like a year ago.

"The feeling is that he has already decided to leave, but we hope there will be a last-minute change of mind. Maybe a possible success in the Europa League can make him change his mind.

"He's right, history is written from time to time. Unlike them, for us a victory would be history, even if it is already historic to reach the finals for two years in a row."
