Jose Mourinho has had a festive period to forget after revealing that his family dog died on Christmas day while giving a live TV interview.
The Tottenham boss was giving a pre-match interview before Spurs' Boxing Day match against Brighton when he was asked by presenter Jim Rosenthal if he'd enjoyed Christmas so far.
Mourinho replied: 'To be honest, it was very sad because my dog died and my dog is my family. But we have to move on.".

Mourinho replied: 'To be honest, it was very sad because my dog died and my dog is my family. But we have to move on.".
The moment could have been an awkward one for Rosenthal, but the veteran broadcaster handled the moment expertly and offered his condolences.
'Oh my goodness me, commiserations for that,' he offered before seamlessly moving the conversation back to the game ahead.
It is unclear whether the dog Mourinho is referring to is the same pet that hit the headlines back in 2007 when it was caught up in a row between the Portuguese manager and police.
