Chelsea boss Mourinho launching own cartoon series

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is launching his own cartoon series.

'Jose and the Special Ones' will air on Portugal's leading children's TV channel this weekend - with spin offs including a trading card game and app already in the pipeline. An English version of the show is also in development for the 50 year-old coach's legion of young fans in Britain, says the London Evening Standard.

The show sees the charismatic manager team up with a youngster called Alex to coach a youth football team as they battle enemies and hopefully win some matches along the way.

Mourinho is understood to have endorsed his name and likeness to the project but has not voiced his on screen character.
