Jose Mourinho falls over after ceremonial puck drop at KHL game between SKA and Avangard


Jose Mourinho has a bit of time on his hands after his sacking as Manchester United manager.

The 'special one' was dismissed by the Red Devils in mid-December with the club 19 points behind the league leaders. That has left him searching for a new job, while also having some time to partake in other activities.

That includes heading to watch some ice hockey, where Mourinho was a guest at the recent Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) match between SKA and Avangard in Russia.

As is standard procedure for guests at games such as this, they are invited to take part in a ceremonial puck drop at centre ice, where they drop the puck between the two captains and the moment makes for a nice photograph afterwards.

As we know though, ice tends to be slippy, and after a motivational clap of the hands, Mourinho ends up falling over as he goes to walk away.

Mourinho did get up afterwards and brush himself down. Although nothing seems to be going right for the Portuguese at the moment...

It wasn't the second time he'd suffered an embarrassing fall this season either - with the first happening when he was still Manchester United boss.
