Chelsea boss admits his legal team is monitoring the situation
Jose Mourinho has revealed his legal team is ‘closely monitoring’ the reports of him pushing a fan who was trying to take a picture.
The video emerged earlier in the week of an angry-looking Mourinho walking behind a young boy who was trying to take a ‘selfie’.
Mourinho then visibly pushed the fan out of the way and continued to walk on.
When asked about the footage during his press conference, the Chelsea manager revealed his legal representatives are monitoring the situation for him.
A Chelsea spokesman has defender the manager by saying the fan was ‘overly intrusive.’

“While Jose understands the laws pertaining to filming in public places, the two teenagers in question followed him from his home for 20 minutes and constantly interrupted a private phone call,” said the spokesperson.
“We also note the allegation of intimidation in those stories, which Jose strongly refutes and which his legal representatives will continue to monitor closely.”
Mourinho then vented at the media for not showing him respect by leaking the video.
Mourinho Unimpressed with Media
“I am going to treat your [media] bosses the way they treat me; no respect, no respect,” said Mourinho.
“You don’t get good and funny headlines from me now. I am not talking about football. I am ready to accept any kind of critics, even the stupid ones.
“I am talking about private lives and stupid things that you bring to light, I don’t like it. We go to a different level of professional relationship now.”
