The moment Jose Mourinho realised former Newcastle United player Moussa Sissoko's influence at Spurs

Jose Mourinho's reaction after being informed of Moussa Sissoko's 'great influence in the changing room' at Spurs certainly caught the eye of Newcastle United fans in the new All or Nothing documentary.

The first three episodes of Amazon's new series, which documents the club's eventful 2019-20 campaign, are now available.

Without giving too much away - saying that, we all know what happened - there is one particularly amusing moment in the first episode.

Shortly after being appointed, Mourinho holds a meeting with his assistant, Joao Sacramento, in his office and they run through the background they have gathered on their players.

Speaking in their native Portuguese, Sacramento, reveals that Jan Vertonghen is a 'warrior' who 'goes to the limit' while Mourinho has heard that Eric Dier is the 'only guy who likes living the conflict during the game'.

But before those revelations, Sacramento informs Mourinho that 'one of the things that caught my attention was they say Sissoko has a great influence in the changing room'. Mourinho, stunned, rolls back his chair before uttering: 'F***!'

A number of Newcastle fans commented on the exchange on social media. ToonArmyPapi said it was his 'favourite part' of the documentary so far while Ketch, in a reference to the midfielder's inconsistency during his spell with the Magpies, tweeted that Sissoko was 'a player who gave #AllOrNothing for #NUFC'.

Sissoko, who captained the black-and-whites on occasion, spent three-and-a-half years at Newcastle before completing his £30m move to Spurs in the summer of 2016.
