Jose Mourinho's son risks wrath of dad after posing for selfies in Lionel Messi Barcelona shirt

Say cheese: Mourinho Jr smiles while wearing the Barcelona shirt

Jose Mourinho's son has risked the wrath of his father by uploading a picture of himself to Twitter while wearing a Barcelona shirt.

The Special One's teenage lad, who is also called Jose, posted a selfie of himself to the social networking website wearing a replica 'Messi 10' jersey.

Jose Jr, a talented young goalkeeper who plays for Fulham's Under-16s, captioned the Twitter snap: “The King’s shirt!!! Messi for life!”

Mourinho began his career at the Nou Camp as a translator for the late Bobby Robson, who was in charge of the Blaugrana at the time.

However, since then his relationship with the Catalan club has soured following his three-year spell in charge of Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013.

During that time, Mourinho courted controversy on a number of occasions, including an incident which involved him poking the then Barca assistant manager Tito Vilanova in the eye.

During his time as Inter Milan manager, his extravagant celebration after the Nerrazurri knocked Barca out of the Champions League at the Nou Camp also didn't go down well.

After that incident he said: “It is clear that I will end my career without having coached Barca.

“I’m not stupid enough to think that this hate can be turned into love.”
