Jose Mourinho watches Dortmund game as guest of club CEO

Jose Mourinho watched Borussia Dortmund's game at Hertha Berlin on Saturday, but BVB coach Thomas Tuchel says he's not worried for his future.

Former Chelsea manager Mourinho was a guest of Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke and watched a goalless draw at the Olympiastadion.

Mourinho has been without a job since being sacked by Chelsea in December, though sources have said his representatives have opened talks with Manchester United about taking over at Old Trafford next season.

After the game, Dortmund boss Tuchel initially joked that he was upset by Mourinho's presence before brushing it off.

"No, I did not know Mourinho attended the game. This is not OK. Watzke is sitting next to another coach," Tuchel said.

"No, I am just joking. Of course, I knew he would be there. It's not a problem for me.

"I would not be OK with it if he would replace me as Dortmund coach next week, though!"

Tuchel is in his first season in charge at Dortmund, who are eight points back of Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.
