Jose Mourinho was surprised with a birthday cake and two bottles of champagne at Roma's training ground after turning 59 on Wednesday.

Mourinho has endured a difficult debut season with the Italian club so far, yet his players and staff still made sure to pay tribute to their manager on his birthday.

At their Trigoria training complex, the former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager walked into the dressing room to find a red-and-yellow Roma-inspired cake and some bottles of bubbly waiting for him.
