Video: Jose Mourinho pranks Chelsea media officer

Jose Mourinho was at his jovial best before his recent press conference

The Chelsea boss arrived before the Chelsea media officer Steve Atkins for the weekly press conference today. Jose Mourinho sat in silence and shared a couple of jokes with the journalists while they waited for over a minute-and-a-half for Atkins to arrive.

Before Steve Atkins joins the presser, Mourinho jovially tells the room, “When Steve arrives we go, because we finish already!”

When Atkins finally arrives, Mourinho rises from his seat and moves towards the door to leave pretending that he had conducted the press conference on his own before returning to his seat and returning to business as usual.

The Portuguese manager's little prank was greeted with great applause by the media persons in the room.
