JOSE MOURINHO had his stroll outside his London home interrupted - by a fan appearing to give him tactical advice.
The pair shook hands on the pavement before the fan seemed to launch into a tirade of tips for the former Manchester United manager.
The casually-dressed Special One, 55, looked somewhat taken aback by the passer-by's pearls of wisdom, but had a wry smile across his face when he walked off after their exchange.
Mourinho is readjusting to life without a job after being sacked by United last month.
He is understood to be living in his West London home and is back in the capital after returning to Portugal over the Christmas season.
He famously spent the entirety of his two-and-a-half-year spell in charge at Old Trafford living in the Lowry Hotel.
Mourinho's former side take on Reading in the FA Cup Third Round this lunchtime with two flops of his flops will start at Old Trafford.
Interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku will both start the game.
Lukaku came off the bench in the wins over Bournemouth and Newcastle to score but is set to lead the line from the outset today.
Sanchez, meanwhile, has not started a game since United beat Juventus in the Champions League two months ago.
He made his first appearance under Solskjaer on Wednesday, coming on for the final half-hour at St James' Park.
But United are without Paul Pogba who is ruled out with a leg injury following Jonjo Shelvey's shocking tackle this week.
Shelvey escaped any punishment from the FA despite raking his studs down the back of Pogba's leg, which sparked an understandably angry reaction from the Frenchman.

And the guy who stopped him and gave him the tips 90% must be a Manchester united nobody from any club would be concerned for his well being and only Manchester united fans gets concerned of the former coaches well being after being sacked.. We wish him well and hopely he got something from the guy cause mourinho doesn't want to be told what to do in his tactics and this is what will destroy him...nobody but himself

If he can't work on improving his tactics, someone on the street needs to tell what fans expect. Hope he gets more street lessons henceforth!

Mourinho is really the special one, the chosen one, no British manager has win what Mourinho has won. No body talks about British managers that have been sack since the history of football like the special one, Mourinho. The living legend SAF we are praising today, the privileges he enjoyed at Manchester united, no manager can enjoy half of it again in the world of football. The British media that are good in campaigning against people, should allowed Mourinho to have rest. Now nobody questioned ole, on why he drop some player's and the rest. The world of football is watching who will beat Mourinho record at Manchester united..

Mourinho has been the best manager for the past 15 years. He went to clubs and achieved beyond expectations with what he had. Regardless of his tactics they’ve what has got the man this far. Everyone thinks they know it all until it’s time to get on the touch line and prove it. Let Mou be Mou. He’ll succeed elsewhere. He might even win another league title before Manchester United does.
