It’s good to try new things when you have time on your hands between new jobs

When deciding what to do next after losing your job can be an exciting prospect if you have the right mindset and the comfort and time afforded by millions of pounds in severance pay.

Why allow yourself to get caught up in the rat race and the stress of updating your CV when you can go and try new things in far flung places.

This is an ethos that Manchester United’s former manager, Jose Mourinho, appears to be following since leaving Old Trafford.

During the recent Asian Cup, held in the United Arab Emirates, Mourinho could be seen as a guest on beIN Sports, offering insight on the Premier League, management and literally anything else other than the tournament itself.

A video posted on social media on Monday showed that Jose is open to work outside of football too.

Posted on Twitter by journalist Ruslan Abushkin, the video shows Mourinho at an ice hockey stadium in the town of Balashikha, best known – according to journalist James Ellingworth – for its rubbish dump.

The stadium appears to be the Balashikha Arena, which hosts Kontinental Hockey League matches.

From what can be gathered in the video, Jose is signing photo after photo of himself, which according to Abushkin, can be collected prior to the game between Avangard and SKA on Monday.

It’s a little bit out of the way, admittedly, but if you’re in the Balashikha area, pop on down and see Jose bouncing back.
