Mourinho cautions Aurier against mocking former managers

Jose Mourinho has laid down the law to Tottenham defender Serge Aurier by warning him over mocking his previous managers.

The Spurs boss is still fresh in the hotseat at the north London club, but has kick-started Tottenham’s season with three wins out of four in the Premier League.

Yet that has not stopped him having a stern word with Aurier, after suggesting the 26-year-old could become a world beater.

According to Foot Mercato , Mourinho said to his full-back: “I am not laughing. If you think that you can mock me on social media like you’ve done to some of your former managers in the past, you are mistaken.”

The Ivory Coast international has been caught up in controversy in the past, over comments made on social media about ex-boss Laurent Blanc during his time at PSG.

Aurier was suspended by PSG over the altercation, after making homophobic slurs towards Blanc via a video message, as well as to several teammates, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
