VIDEO: Jose Mourinho embraces staff member who has been at Chelsea for 48 YEARS in heartwarming reunion ahead of Champions League clash with Benfica
After answering questions and posing for snaps, Mourinho made a point of personally greeting the English press pack, shaking hands with familiar faces and acknowledging those he didn’t recognise. Just when it seemed the moment was over, his eyes caught sight of Thresa by the exit.
Mourinho stretched his arms wide before striding towards her. What followed silenced the room: a warm embrace and a kiss on the forehead for the woman who has been part of Chelsea’s fabric for nearly five decades. It wasn’t scripted, it wasn’t for the cameras, it was pure Mourinho magic.
