José Mourinho is expected to recover after suffering a crunching tackle during a training session with Fenerbahce.
“The Special One” posted a video to Instagram of him getting taken out during a drill. Midfielder Ismail Yuksek collided with the Portuguese manager who then needed help from players to limp off the field.
In the video Mourinho can been seen wearing white long sleeves in the middle of the training exercise when he gets unintentionally tackled from behind.

Mourinho joked about the incident online saying, “Lesson to young coaches. Never wear same color as players. They can pass you the ball…. or kick you from behind.” Mourinho tagged Yuksek in the post.
Two of his former players, Marouane Fellaini and Marash Kumbulla, were also tagged in the post which makes it seem like this isn’t the first time Mourinho has been tackled by one of his players.
The 61-year-old manager is fully dedicated to his role with the Turkish club and has reportedly been working 12-hour days and sleeping at the training ground to not waste time in his pursuit of success.
