Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte has angrily rejected a Manchester United shirt signed by Jose Mourinho.
This happened when his pre-match press conference was hijacked by an Italian prankster who tried to present the Chelsea boss with the United shirt signed by Mourinho.
The Italian’s media briefing took a sudden turn when the journalist grabbed a microphone and tried to hand the former Juventus boss the United shirt, with his name on the back.
Conte rejected the shirt and looked incredibly unimpressed, with Chelsea’s press officer finally intervening and telling the man, who raised his fist in the air, to sit back.
The prankster appears to have been continuing a ruse that began a month ago in Manchester, when an Italian TV crew snuck up on Mourinho outside the Lowry Hotel with a United shirt to sign.
However, unknown to Mourinho, the shirt had Conte’s name on the back.
Unlike Conte who became angry, the United manager saw the funny side and laughed off the joke.
The prank appears to have been a ploy by an Italian TV station to get one over on Mourinho after he engaged in a war of words with Conte.
