Jose Mourinho made a cheeky request to Jude Bellingham after the Real Madrid superstar clinched his first Champions League title.
Carlo Ancelotti‘s side won their 15th Champions League title at Wembley on Saturday, after defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0, thanks to second half goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr.
Bellingham, who joined the Spanish giants at the beginning of the season from Dortmund, was left lost for words at full time, upon realising his side had been crowned European champions. He cut an emotional figure as he celebrated the victory alongside his team-mates and family on the pitch.
Mourinho, meanwhile, was working as a pundit for TNT Sports’ live broadcast of the match, and seemingly confirmed that he’d be stepping back into management next season to take charge of Fenerbahce.
The Portuguese football coach, who was sacked as Roma boss earlier this season stated that he would be flying to Turkey on Sunday to complete a deal to become the Super Lig side’s next permanent head coach.

When asked by Laura Woods on whether he was close to agreeing a deal to become Fenerbahce’s next manager, the 61-year-old said to TNT Sports: ‘I would say that maybe I travel tomorrow.’
Mourinho was also seen greeting Bellingham and his family after the match and appeared to take a picture with his mum Denise.
The 20-year-old had comically exposed his mum’s crush on the Portuguese manager after he had asked if they could get a quick picture. Bellingham was overheard on TNT’s live broadcast hilariously saying to Mourinho: ‘Sorry about that, my mum’s fancied you for years.’
But in reply, Mourinho had two requests of his own, hilariously quipping that Bellingham should ‘now come to Fenerbahce’ after he had confirmed he was in talks with the Turkish outfit, before asking the Madrid star to go easy on the Turkish outfit if they cross paths in next year’s Champions League.

During Bellinham’s post-match interview with TNT Sports, the ex-Chelsea boss, who was in awe of the English star’s brilliance, hilariously stated: ‘If next season you play Fenerbahce, calm down…’
The midfielder has enjoyed a dream first season with Real Madrid, winning LaLiga, the Champions League and the Spanish Super Cup.
He has been one of their standout players this season, scoring 23 times in 42 appearances in all competitions and could have scored during Saturday night’s game, only marginally failing to head in a dipping cross from Vinicius Jr, which would have got Madrid the breakthrough.
After the game, a tearful Bellingham delivered an emotional interview, saying that ‘this was the best night of my life’.

‘Always dreamed of playing in these games and, you know, you go through life and so many people tell you you can’t do things,’ he said to TNT Sports. ‘Days like today just remind you.
‘It gets a bit hard at times and you wonder if it’s worth it and all those kind of things. Nights like tonight make you realise.
‘I was alright until I saw my mum and dad’s face there, the amount of nights where they could be at home by seven o’clock and they’re doing trips at 11, 12 at night to take me to football. My little brother who I try to be a role model for, I can’t put it into words. It’s the best night of my life.’
