Italian media pranksters have got Jose Mourinho with a beauty.
On return to his Lowry Hotel residence, Mourinho was ambushed by several reporters.
The Portuguese obliged in answering their questions and even took the time to sign a United jersey handed to him by said media.
But when Mourinho turned the shirt around it read: 'Antonio Conte' accompanied with the famous United number seven.
Conte and Mourinho were embroiled in a bitter war of words over the festive period. The Chelsea boss called Mourinho 'senile' and a 'little man' after the 54-year-old took aim at Conte's sideline antics, calling him a 'clown', and bringing up match-fixing scandals from his time as manager of Siena.
Fair play to Jose, he took the prank quite while as he smiled to the camera after he was duped with the Conte laden jersey.
