“Respect”
During a press conference in the 2018-19 season, Mourinho Umbrage brought to the questions of the journalist after a 3-0 defeat for his Manchester United.
Mourinho held up three fingers and said: “What was the result? 3-0? Do you know what this means? 3-0.

Fracas with Wenger

“To be honest, I don't listen to what he says. Push him? You would know if I really tried to push. Come on. “
Wire
The conspiracy theories really came to Mourinho during his enchantment at Roma.
He was convinced that referees had it for him during the 2022-2023 season, a campaign in which he saw three red cards on the touchline.
So, in real Mourinho form, he did what he could to protect himself. He became an informant and wore a thread.
He revealed: “I am not stupid, you know. Today I went to the game with a microphone. I recorded everything. From the moment I left the dressing room, until I came back. I protected myself.”
More Touchline Shenanigans
When Mourinho Stamford Bridge visited again with his husband UTD team, it took his team to stop him while he was looking for a fight.

Hidden in a laundry basket

But there was no way he would let it stand in the way to enter the dressing room to talk to his team.
He told Sky Sports years later: “I go to the dressing room during the day, so I was there from noon and the game is seven o'clock. I just want to be in the dressing room when the players arrive.
“I went there and nobody saw me. The problem was to leave afterwards. And Stewart Bannister de Kitman put me in the basket. It was a bit open so that I could breathe.
“But when he takes it outside the dressing room, the UEFA boys and desperate followed to find me so that he closed the box and I could not breathe.
“When he opened the box, I died! I am serious! I was claustrophobic, I promise! It's true.”
No questions, please
Often you can hit gold with Mourinho on press conferences by his humor, charm and no-holds-back comments.
But on this occasion he chose not to say anything.
It was a press conference that only took 10 seconds, when the press officer of Man Utd Waiting Journalists asked if they had questions after the last league match of the 2016-2017 season.
Now most of the written press were not in the Chamber at the moment, where Jose arrived for them.
With the handful that was hesitant in the room, Mourinho took it to say “good” before marching away.
Attack on Tito Villanova

After the game, Mourinho Pep Guardiolas poked the then assistante Tito Villanova in the eye in an unprecedented attack and walked away.
Barcelona has not submitted an official complaint. However, the club said: “The audience has given their opinion. They are very clear that what this person did was not good. The (Spanish football) federation will act if they want.”
