Jose Mourinho Celebrates Wildly With Players & Fans

Jose Mourinho celebrates with his team

Jose Mourinho has opened up about his wild celebrations on Sunday night after he ran half the length of the field to hug and hold his players following a stoppage-time winner.

The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss took charge of his 1 000th game as a professional coach at the weekend, but spent the past week playing down the importance of the occasion. 

Then, in the 90th minute, with the score between Roma and Sassuolo 1-1, Stephan El Shaarawy scored a screamer from outside the box to hand Mourinho's men a crucial 2-1 victory to make it three league wins from three games. 

As Roma's players left the field of play to celebrate closer to spectators at the Stadio Olimpico, a jubilant Mourinho decided to join them, saying after the game that he felt like a 14-year-old during those moments of elation.

"During the week I was a liar, saying it wasn't a special match. But it was a special match," he told DAZN.

"It was a match with a special number for me and I always wanted to remember a match like this for my 1 000th game. I lied to everyone!

"It could have ended 6 to 6, 7 to 7, (Roma goalkeeper) Rui Patricio came up with two miracles, we missed a few goals. Extraordinary game, a tremendous emotion.

"Today I am not 58, but 14, when you start dreaming of a career in football. It was a child's race, I apologised to (Sassuolo head coach Alessio) Dionisi, they played a fantastic game."
