Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was reportedly the target of an alleged prank phone call ahead of his side's Premier League clash against Hull City last weekend.

Arsenal fan James Smith is said to have posed as the manager of Forest Pines Hotel in Lincolnshire 'Geoffrey Woodrow' while the Blues players and staff were staying at the venue.

James is believed to have told Mourinho that the hotel had received complaints from other guests about some "boisterous" behaviour from a number of Chelsea players, to which the Portuguese boss promptly defended his team.

James told The Mirror: "We never thought we'd get through."
