Victor Boniface reveals warning he gave Mourinho before his worst defeat as manager
Bayer Leverkusen striker, Victor Boniface has revealed the warning he gave Fernabahce boss, Jose Mourinho before his worst defeat as a manager.
Eleven years after a 5-0 loss to Barcelona while in charge of Real Madrid, Mourinho suffered another heavy defeat as his AS Roma team were thrashed 6-1 against Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Conference League group stage in 2021.
Boniface was playing for Bodo/Glimt at the time when Mourinho took his AS Roma team to Norway for the encounter.
Speaking recently on The Culture League Podcast, Boniface said: “I played in Norway, one of the coldest countries in the world. I played for Bodø/Glimt — the city is too small.
“Mourinho came to the pitch, walked inside, took his phone, recorded everything and posted: ‘This is the situation, we’re about to play, very cold.’
“He posted it. I commented on that same post because I did not know I would be at this level today. I said to him, ‘You never see anything.”
