Sergio Reguilon reveals heartwarming Jose Mourinho gesture on Christmas
Speaking to Spanish publication AS, as carried by the Mirror, Tottenham star Sergio Reguilon has opened up a genuine moment of warmth he shared with manager Jose Mourinho on Christmas.
Mourinho has built a reputation of being tough on his players, but Reguilon has offered an insight into the Portuguese tactician’s caring side.
“I’d like you to know him the way I know him. I could tell a thousand great stories. For example, on Christmas Day. He knows I’m on my own. We arrive at training on the 25th at 3pm and there’s a box in my place.
“I open it up and it’s a roast suckling pig, already cooked. He said to me ‘I know you’re alone at Christmas and that way you don’t have to cook and you’ll eat well.’ It’s really important for a player that he keeps an eye on how you are, away from football.”
This is not the first incident where Jose has gifted Reguilon food. The manager had promised the new arrival he would buy him Iberico ham if Tottenham beat Manchester City last month. And the following the victory, he held on to his promise.

It is nice to get an insight into the softer side of Mourinho. Reguilon arrived at Tottenham only a few months ago and it is good to see the manager go out of his way to help him settle down at the club. The Spanish international has already made a solid impression in his short time.
