Last night it seemed that Jose went from "The Special One" to "The Hooded One", as he was spotted in the crowd watching Spain's ultimate qualifying match away at Ukraine.

While the Chelsea boss could argue that he was merely watching the game in Kiev to check out the international form of defender Cesar Azpilicueta or Midfielder Cesc Fabregas who was made captain for the night, however he may have been keeping an eye on reported long-term target Andriy Yarmolenko of Ukraine.

The under-pressue manager's attempt to go unnoticed didn't go quite to plan as he was spotted by cameramen in just the fifth minute of action. Twitter soon became awash with posts mocking Mourinho for his appearance, and he was likened to Emperor Palpatine and the character from the computer game Assasin's Creed, among others.
