Ex-England star reveals he sought legal advice after Jose Mourinho row went public
Danny Rose has said he was not made aware of infamous discussion with Jose Mourinho at Tottenham training ground was being filmed until six months later when Amazon included it in documentary
by Alan Smith · The MirrorDanny Rose has revealed he sought legal advice when the infamous clip of his row with Jose Mourinho was included in Tottenham's Amazon Prime documentary.
The defender said he was unaware that Mourinho's office had cameras installed for the All or Nothing series and he only found out a recording existed six months later.
In the scene, Rose arrived in Mourinho’s office to ask why he was not featuring in the team. The former England international was not in the then Spurs boss’ plans and he subsequently was sent on loan to Newcastle.
And in an appearance on former team-mate Kyle Walker’s BBC podcast, Rose explained that there had been no major falling out with Mourinho at the club but he was not informed until much later that his dispute was on film.
“I only worked under him for eight or 10 weeks,” Rose said. “I didn't really have a relationship with him. It was just a normal player-manager relationship. 'Hello. Good morning. How are you?'
"Well, obviously he came in and he had this approach of wanting to build with three centre backs and then having the right back as the outlet. And obviously my game was more, you know, not more offensive but I enjoyed being offensive. His system was that the left sided player at the back four would be a centre back who's not going to be adventurous and go forward.
"Already my days were numbered, you know, at the club when he wanted to adopt that approach.
"So you know in 10 weeks it wasn't like there was a huge falling out or anything like that. You know that conversation that you see on the documentary is a completely normal conversation. If any player who's not playing on a Saturday, the first thing you do is knock on the door.
“Also, so when Poch [Mauricio Pochettino] was there. There were no cameras in his office. He didn't allow that. So when I've gone to knock on the door. I'm assuming there's still no cameras in the office, but they've put one in now and I didn't know that.
“This chat is in December. I'd gone on loan to Newcastle In January. I didn't then get notified by one of the lads until May. Got this and they're putting it in. So yeah, I wasn't happy. I had to get legal advice.”
Rose, 34, retired in 2022 after a spell at Watford.
