Jose Mourinho is a schoolyard bully

When he was getting into public spats with coaches, players and referees while managing Chelsea, it wasn’t hard to picture Jose Mourinho as a child taunting other kids on the playground. Now that he is without a job and he has plenty of time on his hands, Mourinho apparently still feels the need to get into scraps even if that means protecting his own honor against a 12-year-old boy.

This is London has the details of a story that would be almost too hard to believe if it didn’t involve Mourinho.

The self-proclaimed ‘Special One’ flew into a rage when his 11-year-old daughter told him about playground jibes that he was not “the best”, it has been revealed.

He found the culprit, a 12-year-old schoolboy, and held him by the hair while he “pulled” his ears, the Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha reported.

Mr Mourinho, 44, was then summoned before the headmistress and made to formally apologise to his tearful victim and his family.

Substitute Andriy Shevchenko for the 12-year-old schoolboy and Roman Abramovich for the headmistress and suddenly this starts to sound all too familiar.
