Jose Mourinho's brilliant response to question about Amazon and how long he wants to be at Spurs

Jose Mourinho managed to respond to a question about the Amazon documentary currently filming at Tottenham Hotspur without saying a word.

The new Spurs head coach was in a playful mood following his unveiling to the world's media.

Heading off away from the cameras with a group of written media to a balcony area, he sat to answer another set of questions.

The topic turned to the documentary 'All or Nothing' which is being filmed at the club this season and will have captured the events that led to the departure of Mauricio Pochettino and the arrival of Mourinho.

The question was whether he was wary about the documentary makers and cameras when he took on his new job.

Mourinho's response was to mischievously put his finger to his lips, stand up, tell everyone to gather round while he reached into his back pocket. From there he produced a microphone power pack to show that he was currently being recorded.

He pointed across the balcony and everyone turned to see the Amazon cameraman standing at the top of the stairs with another member of the documentary team.

They laughed as they realised they were rumbled and that Mourinho was never going to say anything derogatory about the documentary while he was being recorded.

Mourinho was also asked whether his new job at Tottenham would be his last in the country, which he initially misunderstood as his last job in football.

"I am 57! 56, even. 56-years-old! Oh, sorry, you mean last club in England. I would love that to be the case," he said.

"I would love to stay for many years. I say many years but I know realistically how football is. If I could do a Mauricio for five-and-a-half years, it would be amazing.

"I would be 61 – then 10 more years. Vitoria Setubal in Portugal maybe the last job."
