Jose Mourinho pretended to fall asleep over a question during his post-match press conference after Fenerbahce's loss to Rangers.
The legendary manager made snoring sounds as he awaited a translation for one question following the Europa League loss.
A journalist had cited substitutions and formation changes for Fenerbahce as he quizzed Mourinho on whether that was responsible for defeat rather than defensive mistakes.

The long-winded question took 48 seconds before it was translated for Mourinho to answer.
But the former Manchester United and Chelsea manager was in no mood to respond as he insisted he was "too tired".
"Oh, this is too much for my head. I'm tired man.
"Ninety minutes now to listen to all of this, I am too tired for that."

Earlier in his press conference, Mourinho had warned Rangers not to celebrate their first leg victory too much.
"They were pragmatic, they were competitive and they deserved the victory," said Mourinho.
"The only thing I tell them is don't celebrate too much because there is a second match to play.
"That's my only advice, then, if after the second game they celebrate then I will congratulate them.
"But now, calm down because it is not over."
