Jose Mourinho doesn’t want Serbia to make it out of the group stage in this summer’s World Cup.
Sounds harsh, but the Portuguese has his reasons.
Serbia are in Group E along with tournament favourites Brazil, as well as Costa Rica and Switzerland.
Mladen Krstajic’s side will fancy themselves to make the last-16 but the Manchester United boss is hoping this won’t be the case.
Mourinho would rather Serbia crash out at the group stages so star player Nemanja Matic can take a holiday.
“Brazil wins and I need Matic to go on a holiday, so Switzerland to finish second,” Mourinho said as a guest host on RT.
“I am sorry Nemanja, but you need a holiday.”
The Serbian recently admitted that it can be difficult working under Mourinho, who he followed from Chelsea.
