Jose Mourinho was up to his old tricks over the weekend.

The Special One is currently at the helm of Turkish giants Fenerbahce, who welcomed Antalyaspor on Sunday evening. Mourinho, 61, was furious after Edin Dzeko saw his second half strike chalked off after the Bosnian was deemed to be offside.

Mourinho was less than impressed with the decision and he grabbed the club's laptop and placed it in front of a TV camera next to the dugout. The laptop showed a screen grab of the incident as he tried to prove the referee had made the wrong call.

"Jose Mourinho is incredible. Protesting a decision by putting a picture of it in front of camera. What a man," one fan joked. While a second said: "This man must never retire!"

"This is a hall of fame move from Mourinho. Putting his laptop in front of the TV camera to show why the referees decision was wrong," a third posted. And another added: "Nah there's never going to be anyone like this again. Love this man!"

After the game, Mourinho said: "No offside, the left-back was in a position where Dzeko was not offside and in our perspective that was clear for us.”

Mourinho has been causing quite the stir in Turkey - he was booked 20 minutes into his debut after arguing with the official and he even stormed out of an interview after being shown a clip of rival Galatasaray fans mocking him.

The Portuguese boss has a date with an old foe at the end of the month, when he welcomes Manchester United to the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. The Red Devils have been on a torrid run of form, and will be looking to get one over on their former boss.
