Now, for starters, the instructions for the crossbar challenge are pretty easy and straight forward – just kick the ball towards the goalpost and ensure it hits the crossbar. Jose Mourinho may not have been as successful as a footballer as he has been as a manager, but one thing for sure is that is he still has his groove.
A viral video footage taken at the Sukru Saracoglu stadium in Turkey shows the Portuguese tactician waiting for Man Utd players to enter into the pitch for their routine training session ahead of their Europa League clash with hosts Fenerbahce. But the 53-year-old then decides to do the unexpected – the crossbar challenge. The first few shots go way off the mark, but in a rare show of patience and precision, the outspoken manager finally aims at the target once more, takes a step back, and send the ball flying, consequently hitting the crossbar and landing calmly into the net.
Watch the rare incident below. Nice try, Jose!
