Mourinho reveals death threat
AFP, Lisbon
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has given new details of the death threats which he says he received on the eve of his former club FC Porto's Champions League final win against Monaco in May. "On the other line the guy said 'We won't do anything now because you have that final to play. But once it is over, you're dead. We are going to get you. As soon as you arrive in Porto your bed will be laid, you don't have a chance," he said during an interview with private television TVI late Wednesday. After the Portuguese club were crowned European champions following their 3-0 defeat of Monaco in the German city of Gelsenkirchen, Mourinho declined to celebrate with his players and instead joined his young children on the bench. He was heavily criticised in the Portuguese press for flying to Lisbon after the match instead of to Porto and missing the massive street celebrations which swept the city following the team's European win.
