Mourinho registered his first title with Inter on Saturday when he steered the Serie A holders to victory over Roma on penalties after the normal and extra time ended in a 2-2 draw.

"I want to point out that I have won the Italian Super Cup, but I could only participate in it because Mancini won the Scudetto," a modest Mourinho told reporters.

"He deserves a portion of this trophy for all the good work he did with this team," the Portuguese coach added.

The former Chelsea manager was also happy to overcome the penalties jinx that has been nagging him in England.

"I have always had a bad record with penalties, losing the Cup in England last year and then the Champions League semi-final.

"Plus my Chelsea, albeit with another Coach, lost the Champions League Final on spot-kicks," he said.
