Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho took a nasty tumble at an ice hockey game outside Moscow on Monday, performing a ceremonial puck drop that drew gasps and laughs. Mourinho, who was sacked by United in December, made the first puck drop of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) game between Avangard Omsk and SKA Petersburg, two of the league’s best teams, at an arena in Balashikha. Yet as he walked off the ice to the theme song of the Rocky movie series, Mourinho tripped on a red carpet and fell backwards, sparking gasps from the crowd. Jose Mourinho is helped up from his fall by SKA Petersburg captain Pavel Datsyuk. Avangard Omsk wrote on their Instagram page that Mourinho, 56, had not sustained any injuries in the fall.
