VIDEO: The Sleepy One! Jose Mourinho dozes off during journalist's long question to Fenerbahce boss after Europa League defeat to Rangers

Europa League

Rangers

Fenerbahce

<p>The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss was not in the best of moods after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jose-mourinho-declares-himself-open-to-managing-celtic-or-rangers-fenerbahce-boss-talks-passion-scottish-premiership/blt3069ca21b1c04fbe" target="_blank">seeing his side suffer a Europa League loss</a> on home soil. Fener did restore parity against Rangers on the half-hour mark, but went on to lose the game in question 3-1.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Mourinho’s men now have a continental mountain to climb ahead of a trip to Ibrox next week. Their hopes of booking a quarter-final berth are hanging by a thread, with there much for their manager to mull over. That process will have already begun.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>With that in mind, Mourinho was eager to complete press duties as quickly as possible after coming unstuck against the Gers. One member of the media did, however, have an epic question up his sleeve, which led to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/sleep-jose-mourinho-moans-noisy-neighbours-danish-hotel-fenerbahce-europa-league-midtjylland/blt413bef2c57e309ea" target="_blank">Mourinho jokingly falling asleep</a> before saying: “This is too much for my head. I’m tired, man. Ninety minutes, not to listen to all of this, I’m too tired for that.”</p>

WHAT JOSE MOURINHO SAID

<p>Fenerbahce have a full week to prepare for their return date with Rangers. With no Super Lig fixture on their schedule for the upcoming weekend, Mourinho will hope to have a plan in place that allows a two-goal deficit to be overturned before heading to Glasgow next Thursday.</p>
