It seems even the 'Special One' still has lessons to learn after being taken out in training by one of his own players. is already under pressure in Fenerbahce with his team eight points off Super Lig leaders , but despite criticism he's not lost his sense of humour.
Instead, Mourinho has left fans, and his former players, in stitches with an amusing post on Instagram.
All seemed normal in the video clip as he stood on the field for a training game between first team players, with his squad split by black and orange bibs.
A few seconds into the footage, the players in black were passing the ball around slickly, before a covering player in an orange bib wipes out his boss from behind. The culprit was Turkish international Ismail Yuksek, with the midfielder initially not realising who he'd bumped over.
Club staff are then seen rushing to the aid of the 61-year-old, who needed helping to his feet before hobbling to the sidelines. However, a man notorious for his volatile temper clearly saw the funny side by uploading the footage to his account, which is followed by more than 5.4million users.
He wrote: "Lesson to young coaches 'never wear same colour as players' ...they can pass you the ball... or kick you from behind." He added four emojis, including two laughter ones.
As well as Yuksek, former Roma defender Marash Kumbulla is also tagged, as is Mourinho's ex- player Marouane Fellaini. The inclusion of the pair suggested they had been involved in similar incidents with the three-time winner in the past.
Matic, who played under the Portuguese boss at three different clubs, responded by saying: "Well deserved." Kumbulla appeared to offer a belated apology for whatever happened in Italy, adding: "Sorry again mister."
Mourinho's former charges John Terry and Willian, as well as icon Robbie Keane, also got in on the act. Their messages were much simpler though, replying with a number of humorous emojis.
The manager's mood was at odds with his demeanour . Despite maintaining his unbeaten home record in matches against his former club, Mourinho was left seething .
His anger, and subsequent red card, had centred around Bright Osayi-Samuel being denied a penalty following a challenge by Manuel Ugarte. Afterwards, he told TNT Sports: "I watched the incident. I don't want to speak about it."
