Mourinho NOT the hooded man pictured leaving Chelsea's training ground - After all the furore surrounding his sacking, it turns out that Jose Mourinho was not the man who was pictured being driven away from Chelsea's training ground on Thursday.

The news of his departure was confirmed on Thursday afternoon with Mourinho apparently still on the club's training ground premises in Cobham just hours after he ate Christmas lunch with his staff and the players.

Mourinho was supposedly pictured leaving the club's training ground with his face covered by his hood, but it has now emerged that it was not the 52-year-old in the passenger seat.

Instead, The Daily Telegraph are claiming that the mysterious man is the club’s player liaison officer Kevin Campello.

There are also further clues to suggest that it was not Mourinho who was being driven away in the black Jaguar.

The man in the passenger seat was not wearing a wedding ring - something which Mourinho has always worn. The former Chelsea manager also has a tattoo on his left wrist with the nicknames of his wife, daughter and son, which cannot be seen on the man in the photo.

The man in the passenger seat also has a darker stubble than Mourinho's lighter grey facial hair, and finally, the mysterious man's hands have considerably less hair on them than the former Chelsea manager's.
