JOSE MOURINHO is to star in a Netflix documentary about football coaching – but has joked he needs to keep it schtum from rivals Amazon due to Spurs’ £10million “fly-on-the-ball” documentary.
The Portuguese laughed off the rivalry, saying that “Amazon cannot know” after it emerged that his series will go up against the programme which has been filmed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and training ground since the summer.

Mourinho said: “I’m doing an episode for Netflix, it’s true.
“Eight coaches of eight different sports. I’ve filmed it already, I don’t know when it comes out. My part is done.
“There are coaches from NBA, Formula 1, tennis, NFL, rugby.
“But the Amazon guys, they cannot know.”
Amazon is set to show the Tottenham documentary next year.
And, after the sacking of boss Mauricio Pochettino, it should make a riveting watch.
Spurs chief Daniel Levy secured a £10m deal to allow Amazon’s cameras access to the stadium, training ground and behind-the-scenes.
It follows the success of Manchester City’s Amazon series All or Nothing: Manchester City.
This one will be different to City’s story as there will be more focus on the building and completion of Tottenham’s £1billion state-of-the-art new stadium.
It highlights the construction’s impact on the local community in Haringey and the club’s unique link-up with the NFL.
Two American Football matches will be staged at the club each year for the next ten years.
The club has a special gridiron pitch which replaces the grass one used for football matches.
Five cameras were installed in Pochettino’s office, so have now been filming Mourinho’s every-day movements and discussions over the last few weeks.
