Jose Mourinho is always known for his cheeky remarks, irrespective of whether he is happy or angry. He has built his reputation over the years not only as one of the most tactically astute managers but for his comments.

He recently left a hilarious comment on John Obi-Mikel's post. The former Chelsea midfielder took to Instagram to share photos of his reunion with his former teammates Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou.

The trio met in the Ivory Coast, taking time to possibly reminisce on their glory days in West London. Most of their happy moments came under Mourinho, who is arguably Chelsea's greatest-ever manager. Under Mourinho, they won the FA Cup and the Premier League.
