10 Bizarre Jose Mourinho Moments

10. Hello Goodbye

You know that last day of school before you break up? All the work's been done, everyone's thinking about the holidays and the whole class, teacher included, keeps checking the clock every thirty seconds to see if it's home-time yet? That's kind of what happened on the last day of the 2016-2017 season.

Manchester United had beaten Crystal Palace 2-0 that day, with Mourinho fielding the Red Devils' youngest-ever Premier League side. It had been a disappointing season in many ways as they had failed to qualify for the Champions League final, taking only the Community Shield and League cup as their significant victories thus far.

Despite this, the players went for a lap of honour around the pitch upon the conclusion of the game. Mourinho saw his chance. With most of the journalists still watching the pitch, he walked into the post-match press conference with only four scribes in the room, none of whom looked ready.

"Any questions?" asked Mourinho's press officer.

None were immediately forthcoming.

"Goodbye, guys" said Mourinho and promptly left the room.

He was in and out of his chair in about five seconds, leaving the rest of the press pack to turn up later, notepads at the ready, only to be told they'd missed their chance with the madman in one of the most important press conferences of the football season.
