JOSE MOURINHO reportedly taunted Mesut Ozil at Real Madrid by making jokes about his ex-girlfriend.
Ozil, who retired this week, played for Real between 2010-2013.
Mourinho was his manager throughout that period and the pair won La Liga and the Copa del Rey together.
But on one occasion Ozil reportedly annoyed Mourinho, leading the Portuguese to make comments about his then-girlfriend according to club president Florentino Perez.
In leaked audio recordings Perez spoke about Mourinho’s taunting, as reported by The Upshot.
Perez is reportedly heard saying: “[Mesut] Ozil came here aged 21. He is third generation Turk and then he discovers Madrid.

“He sent his girlfriend away and changed his lifestyle, falling for an Italian model from Milan. He had a private jet, so he would fly out there, fuck her and come back.
“Then one day, he annoyed Jose Mourinho, who jokingly said: ‘Hey Ozil, idiot, let me tell you something as if I were your father, because this girl you’re going out with has f***ed everyone at Inter and AC Milan, including the coaching staff of both teams’.”
Ozil is now married to former Miss Turkey Amine Gulse.
The pair began dating in 2017 and tied the knot three years later – Turkish President Recep Erdoğan was a witness during the ceremony.
