Jose Mourinho comments on Tottenham boss’ actions.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has been charged by the FA after confronting referee Mike Dean after the club’s loss to Burnley, BBC Sport report.
The improper conduct charge sparked headlines as it was so out of character for the Tottenham manager.
His former Premier League rival Jose Mourinho has even reacted to it.
He commented on the argument, asking how it would play out if it was him.
The ex-Manchester United and Chelsea boss told The Telegraph: “Can you imagine – and I am happy he is like that – but can you imagine me doing what Mauricio did? The consequences?”
Asked if he is treated differently, Mourinho responded: ““Yes”. Why is that? “I don’t know”.”
The FA charge would still have been the same for Mourinho, but where he differs with Mourinho is the press coverage.
Pochettino has not escaped attention, in fact there has been added focus because it was unusual from the Argentine.
However if it was Mourinho, he is right, the pressure from the media would be tenfold, such is the scrutiny he has brought upon himself during a decade and a half in management around Europe.
