JOSE MOURINHO branded Manchester City a “team of c***s” in an astonishing half-time tirade.
The Tottenham manager’s foul-mouthed outburst is shown in Amazon’s new behind-the-scenes TV documentary on the club.

It happened during his team’s 2-0 win over Pep Guardiola’s men in February at their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The score was still goalless at the break after Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris had saved Ilkay Gundogan’s first-half penalty.
Mourinho told his players in the dressing room: “When you save the penalty, they try to put huge pressure on for another penalty to be given.
“This is the difference between a team of c***s and a team of good guys.
“But the story of football is the teams of good guys, they never win. So f****** hell, be a c***!”
Mourinho also appears to tell his players to try to get those City men on a yellow card sent off after Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld picked up a first-half booking.
Spurs’ Portuguese chief said: “And the way the game is going, they know Toby has a yellow card.
“I promise you they know. I promise you. And I have to say Kyle Walker has a yellow card, Zinchenko has a yellow card, Sterling has a yellow card.
“So be a c***, don’t be a good guy.”
Mourinho then changed tack completely as he calmly asked his stars: “Now, how do we score a goal?”
But Mourinho’s talk did the trick as second-half strikes from Steven Bergwijn and Son Heung-min secured a famous Tottenham win — after City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko was sent off on the hour mark after collecting a second booking.
