Jose Mourinho calls Southampton coach “an idiot” after 1-0 defeat

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is back to his old ways after getting booked for glancing at a tablet being used by the Southampton bench.

The Portuguese walked over the the rival dugout during Spurs’ 1-0 loss to Southampton and had a look at what his opposite side was up to.




Mike Dean booked Mourinho on the touchline before Southampton held on to their 1-0 lead from Danny Ings’ finish to get their year off to a flier.

Some supporters accused Mourinho of spying on Hasenhuttl’s tactics, while it was also claimed that the Portuguese was watching a replay of Kane’s disallowed equaliser.




Speaking after the match, the ex-Chelsea and Manchester United manager accepted his punishment.

He told BT Sport: “I was rude. I clearly deserved the yellow card. I had bad words. But I was rude to an idiot”

Mourinho’s day could not have gone much worse as Harry Kane limped off after his overturned strike.

The England international was clutching his hamstring and faces a spell on the sidelines as Tottenham try and push for a top-four place.




Mourinho added: “Harry Kane plays every minute, he plays all the time. It might be big, it might be small. For sure he will be out.

“Tanguy Ndombele, I don’t know. I imagine this is the tenth injury of the season. They stop him to play. It doesn’t give him continuity.

“We had three days between matches. Once more, he is out again.”
