Bradford City boss Phil Parkinson admits rejecting Jose Mourinho's hand before the final whistle yesterday.
Parkinson has revealed he refused Chelsea counterpart Mourinho's handshake during the latter stages of their FA Cup tie on Saturday, as he didn't want to tempt fate.
Mourinho came over to the Bradford dugout to prematurely congratulate Parkinson and his staff after Mark Yates' goal put the visitors 4-2 ahead in injury time at Stamford Bridge.
Parkinson explained: "He [Mourinho] came over to shake hands but at that point there was still three-and-a-half minutes left and I wasn't getting drawn into that.
"You know that if Chelsea got one [goal] back even at that late stage, and with their world class players on the pitch, they could easily have got a second [goal] so we wanted to concentrate on what we had to do and see the game through.
"He came in the dressing room afterwards [though] and shook everyone's hands - crediting the lads for their performances, which I thought was a real touch of class."
