AS Roma boss Jose Mourinho has caused a stir after he interrupted another manager's press conference on Christmas Day.
Ricardo Formosinho, who is in charge of Egyptian side, Modern Future, was having his presser after his side beat Pyramids 14-13 in a dramatic penalty shootout.
According to Daily Star, the Egyptian League Cup final had to be decided via a shootout after the tie ended in a goalless draw during regulation time.
Formosinho was the man of the moment at the time, having inspired his charges to victory.
And as is the tradition, the tactician had to address the press to share his thoughts about the game.
Mourinho phones Formosinho
Sportbible reports that the Modern Future manager's address was interrupted by a phone call from Mourinho, who rung him to potentially congratulate him.
“Sorry, but this guys, I have to, [it's] Jose Mourinho. I have to, I'm sorry," he said.
“We made it. Yes, we made it. I can't hear anything from here, I'll leave the room in a bit. I'll call you then," he continued after the call.
Formosinho was Mourinho's assistant during the Portuguese's spell at Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
However, he resolved to curve his a path in football management in August 2020, subsequently taking charge of Modern Future.
On his part, Mourinho was appointed Roma boss and recruited another assistant in the process.
