A press conference ahead of Tottenham's Europa League clash against KF Shkëndija produced an emotional moment when a journalist requested a photo with Jose Mourinho.

North Macedonian reporter Igor Aleksandrovic wanted to ask the 57-year-old a question on behalf of his late father, who was a great admirer of the former Real Madrid and Inter Milan manager, but he missed out, despite having his hand up during the 15-minute Zoom call.

The reporter was said to be 'very upset' when he wasn't able to speak to the Spurs boss but after hearing about it, Jose came back, answered the question and promised the man a photo to put on his father's memorial.

Brilliant. The power of this sport in peoples lives. Since Jose joined us it was a sense of respect and admiration as a world class manager. But a couple of moments really make me respect him as a person. The Sheffield United post match congrats to the opposition manager, this one, the ball boy one. Top stuff Mr. Mourinho

We all know that Jose knows how revered he is in the world of football, he makes enough jokes and claims about the Special One etc, but this request seemed to almost overwhelm him. His photo in someone's resting place. Wow.

This gesture highlights his extremely genuine nature and gentlemanliness. Bravo.
