Jose Mourinho has taken a hilarious swipe at former Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma when asked about his preference between dogs or cats.
Mourinho, who was being interviewed by another one of his former Blues players - John Obi Mikel - produced an all-time one liner that has since gone viral.
Currently managing in Turkey with Fenerbahce, 'The Special One' couldn't hold back his temptation to poke fun at the West Ham defender.

Zouma is of course remembered for kicking, slapping and throwing objects at his cat, after being filmed at his home by his brother Yoan in 2022.
Reports at the time suggested the French defender was fined two weeks' wages worth £250,000 by the Hammers.
During the interview with Mikel, Mourinho was simply asked whether he prefers cats or dogs.

Mourinho replied by saying: "Dogs,'' but as we have come to expect over the years with Mourinho's dry wit and clever sense of humour, he quickly added: "But I don't have a problem with cats. I'm not Kurt Zouma."
The pair both burst into fits of laughter, with that clip having now been viewed millions of times on social media.
Zouma has since shown remorse and was apologetic to all those he offended during his act of madness three years ago.
"It's been a difficult spell for me and my family," said the 30-year-old.

"Obviously, I have done something very bad and I apologise again for what I've done. I know it was very tough for people to watch and to see that and obviously I feel very, very sorry.
"I have great remorse about it and now I'm trying to move on with my family and looking ahead. I learned from it, that’s the most important thing, I would say.
"Obviously, I had support from many, many people around me who helped me stay focused on football and I try to stay happy."

Zouma now plays for Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Orobah, on loan from West Ham.
He played 30 times under Mourinho at Chelsea before the former Spurs boss was sacked during his second stint at the club in December 2015.
