Jose Mourinho claims he fell asleep at the barbers (Sky Sports)

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has finally revealed why he shaved off all his hair and it’s all to do with his barber.

The Spurs boss looked unrecognisable in a photo shared on social media last week after he paid a visit to luxury London barbers Haks Oscar.

Explaining to Sky Sports the reason behind shaving his head, Mourinho said a mistake at the barbers led to him deciding to shave all his hair off.

‘Sometimes I like to feel the cold weather and I like to change a little bit,’ Mourinho told Sky Sports.

‘But this time was not the case.

‘This time I fell asleep, I fell asleep and I woke up and it was so bad that I told him to bring the one [clipper grade] because hopefully my hair will grow again.’

There is also a hint of irony about Mourinho's hair loss.

In 2014, he mocked Pep Guardiola for losing his hair, putting it down to the stresses of management.

He told BILD: " If you enjoy what you're doing, you don't lose your hair. He's got a bald head. Guardiola doesn't enjoy football."

The Special One will be hoping they are a cut above the rest when they meet Aston Villa in the Premier League on February 16, before turning their attentions to the Champions League on February 19 as they host RB Leipzig in their last 16 first leg fixture.
