Jose Mourinho's new haircut has been trending on social media for a while now. Actually, there is nothing strange about his hair - just well-trimmed and neat and the fact that it makes his head look smaller and his face younger.
But when asked about the new hairstyle during a pre-match press conference, the Portuguese tactician seem to be aiming a dig at his rival Pep Guardiola (pictured below). We all know how Jose speaks in parables and you can never underestimate the deepness of his words. In 2014, he said this about Pep:
“If you enjoy what you’re doing, you don’t lose your hair; he's got a bald head. Guardiola doesn't enjoy football."
Many football fans on Twitter are already speculating that his latest response was aimed at the Man City boss. Was it, really? Here's what he said when asked about the new hairstyle:
''Hair-cut is a privilege that I can do it because in a month's time it will be all-grown. Some can't do it!"
And here are some of the reactions

Mourinho going bald just to show Pep how easy it is to grow hair. What a man.

Mourinho with the ultimate dig at Guardiola. He shaves his head but unlike Pep, his hair will grow back. Savage.

Mourinho has made himself look like a knob to prove he can grow his hair back while Pep debates a hair transplant
