Amazon troll Chelsea with giant billboard of 'ex' Jose Mourinho ahead of Tottenham documentary launch

Amazon Prime Video have had a little fun with Chelsea fans ahead of the launch of their Tottenham documentary series.

All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur is an eight-part series giving a behind-the-scenes look at an eventful 2019/20 season for Spurs that included the departure of manager Mauricio Pochettino just six months after he led the team to a Champions League Final, the subsequent arrival of Jose Mourinho, the Premier League's coronavirus-enforced shutdown and an eventual top-six finish.

The programme is narrated by London-born Hollywood star Tom Hardy and is due to begin showing on Prime Video from August 31.

Ahead of that eagerly-anticipated launch next week, Amazon Prime Video erected a giant billboard on London's Putney High Street, not too far from Chelsea's Stamford Bridge home.

Featured on the billboard is a huge image of Mourinho alongside the line: "Ever wondered what your ex is up to?"

Mourinho previously managed Chelsea for two spells between 2004-07 and 2013-15, delivering three Premier League titles, one FA Cup and three League Cups to the club in total.

It was partly that connection that made the Portuguese - who also took charge of Manchester United between 2016-18 - a surprise choice to many when he was appointed as Pochettino's successor at Tottenham in November 2019.
