Jose Mourinho is, if not the best, the boldestmanager of our time. He is as much skillful as an entertainer as he is as a manager. Watching him on the sidelines is at times more interesting than the match. Nope, not talking about parking the bus.If football was a television serial, Mourinho would be its comic relief. Here, in this slideshow, we try to bring the 10 greatest GIFs of the Chelsea manager which has ever existed on the Internet.
#11 BONUS GIF
Fair to say that Mozart might turn in his grave if Mourinho got anywhere near a piano.
#10 Dancing with the team
A very popular gif that surfaced the internet back when Jose Mourinho was in Spain, managing Real Madrid. This one features the manager himself and his players at Madrid including Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil and Iker Casillas.
And, the fun part is that’s not the only version that exists.
Here is the one with him and his Chelsea players:
#9 Mourinho on Fernando Torres\' ace skills
With all due respect to Fernando Torres, it must have been hard for Jose Mourinho to harbour a striker who is scoring less than your centre back and cost your team £50 million.
Here is his reaction to Torres messing up yet another chance:
#8 The Piggyback and the Piggyback returns
Real Madrid bagged their third goal against Valencia in a La Liga encounter back in 2011 through Cristiano Ronaldo which is remembered more for the celebration that followed it than the goal itself. After the goal, manager Jose Mourinho saddled up then-Real Madrid winger Jose Callejon for a piggyback ride down the touchline.
Following Real Madrid’s 4-1 win over Mallorca in the their final league match of the 2011-12 season, the Whites had become the first club in Europe’s top four leagues to record 100 points in a single season. This invited for Jose Callejon to return the piggyback ride to Mourinho as he jumped on his back during the team’s celebration of winning the league.
#7 Celebrate like Mourinho otherwise don\'t at all
Jose Mourinho is a man of emotion and never refrains from showing his passion during the match.
This celebration is followed by Cristiano Ronaldo's last minute winner against Manchester City in a 2012 Champions League tie when then Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho rushed down the touchline to pull off a glorious knee-slide.
#6 Suddenly a wild Mourinho appears
This one has the Chelsea manager flabbergasted with his players, perhaps asking them to move forward.

Here is Mourinho and his former assistant manager at Real Madrid Aitor Karanka dropping some bass.

A gif that I have come across almost every other social media forums and platform, this one was destined to become the ultimate reaction gif.
#3 An entertainer at the end of the day
Barcelona’s 3-2 win over Real Madrid in a Super Cup tie back in 2011 is remembered for all the wrong reasons. Doesn’t ring a bell? Remember, Mourinho poking then-Barcelona assistant manager Tito Vilanova in his eyes? Yeah, this match is the one I’m talking about.
Apart from that incident, he was also seen making a gesture of a foul bad smell in the second half when Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Dani Alves wear close to him on the touchline.
#2 What do you want, Wenger?
Teasing Arsene Wenger is perhaps the easiest job in the whole universe. The guy sells club captains for a hobby.
It is hard to imagine how Arsene felt when his most precious prodigal son came back to the Premier League but to play for his greatest rival, Jose Mourinho.
#1 Patronising Tim Sherwood
If being 4-0 down wasn’t embarrassing enough for then-Spurs manager Tim Sherwood, opponent manager Jose Mourinho’s ‘kind’ gesture during the final seconds of the match just pushes the limits.
Sherwood’s disappointment might not be very evident here, but his post-match interview surely makes it clear that he was not happy.
