Conor McGregor pictured with 'legend' Jose Mourinho as pair enjoy Rome night out

Conor McGregor is having a rare old time in Rome this week as he sparked crazy scenes on the streets of the Italian capital with Dee Devlin and enjoyed a private visit to the Vatican City.

And there was no let off on Friday night as the UFC star was pictured with legendary football manager Jose Mourinho.

Taking to Instagram, McGregor shared a host of snaps of the pair enjoying a drink as 'The Special One' presented McGregor with a FC Roma jersey.

McGregor labelled Mourinho, who has previously managed the Dubliner's boyhood club Manchester United, a legend as they enjoyed a drink.

McGregor looked like he was enjoying a great night in the Italian capital as he was pictured with Devlin, his three children as well as family like his mother Margaret, dad Tony and sister Aoife.

It comes after McGregor chartered a flight to jet over his niece Taylor, sister Aoife and a host of other family and friends to Rome for his son's Christening this weekend.

McGregor recently flew over to Rome as he prepares for Rian's big day and is also in Italy to collect his €3m Lamborghini yacht.

UFC's biggest star recently revealed he was heading back to Europe after an extended stay in the U.S. after his horror leg break suffered in his fight against Dustin Poirier in July.

He said before jetting off:" A lovely Proper Twelve weekend I am going to have. Tonight and tomorrow. Enjoyment. Relaxation. Optimism!

"My last weekend in the U.S before I head to Italy to christen my son Rían in the Vatican and to take delivery of my new Lamborghini yacht too. Fun times!"

And with McGregor's mother Margaret already in Rome to reunite with her son, and sister Erin flying over a day earlier with her partner and son it was sister Aoife and niece Taylor left.

And Conor pulled out all the stops as they boarded a chartered flight with Cassidy Travel.

The popular travel company lined all the seats on the plane with a design and Conor's son's Rian's name.

And niece Taylor made sure to document the trip from Dublin to Rome.
