Mourinho did not scold his players after a loss

As the players huddled in the dressing room, waiting for the head coach to scold them, Mourinho took out his laptop and played a video of fat players falling over.

"But instead, he turned on his laptop, found a couple of funny videos featuring fat footballers or some epic football fails and showed it to us. Everybody laughed and that was that. He didn’t say anything, we just went to training," as quoted by Chelsea News.

Jarosik did not have the best of times in London, as he only featured 14 times before being sent out on loan to Birmingham City. The Czech footballer played as a defender and is now a manager.

Mourinho avoids red card situation hilariously

Sports Brief had earlier reported that a video circulating online has shown AS Roma boss Jose Mourinho hilariously avoiding a potential red-card situation at the end of his side's match against Napoli.

The fiercely contested match ended in Napoli's favour, courtesy of Victor Osimhen's strike 10 minutes from time.

After the final whistle had been blown, a scuffle ensued between players and members of the technical staff. Roma's Rick Karsdorp was particularly infuriated and was putting his point across to the match referee Massimiliano Irrati.
