"I am sorry to disappoint those I think I wrote the reports, but I did not," Mourinho told SunSport, as per Football365.

"The reports are not mine. I did not write them. The last report I wrote I have it at home. I was in Barcelona and this was in the 1999/2000 season.

"I was assistant and I shared with other colleagues the responsibility of analysing and preparing documents about our opponents for the manager.

"Since I arrived at Benfica and until now my analysis never became official reports, but key ideas that helped me to prepare the training work and the matches planning.

Mourinho added: "Official reports were always done by analysts, assistants and computer technicians, but never by me."

It's now been revealed that former FC Porto and Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas was the author of the incredibly detailed report.
