The night mortified Mourinho became an ordinary dad: Why the Special One just can't say no to 18-year-old daughter Matilde... even when she's wearing an eye-popping dress

He's one of the hard men of football with a reputation for getting exactly what he wants.

But it appears that there is one person that has José Mourinho wrapped around her stylish little finger - his 18-year-old daughter Matilde.

And while many fathers would have refused to let their little girl leave the house in the eye-popping designer dress she wore to the GQ Awards on Tuesday, the Special One appears to have given in - albeit with ill grace and a grimace. 

Mourinho, 52, even admitted that he would not have gone to the glitzy awards do in London - but was talked in to it by his headstrong oldest daughter.

But Mathilde's show-stopping appearance at the GQ Awards is just another sign of the manager's unfailing devotion to his girl.

In fact the scourge of Stamford Bridge also revealed that it his wife and daughter who rule the roost in his home, telling the Big Issue magazine that the two 'are the bosses and control everything in our house'. 

My wife and my son and my daughter have the biggest influence on me, that’s for sure,' he said during the interview.

'And why? Because they are the bosses and control everything in the house!

'And in relation to my job they don’t try to influence me but at the end of the day they have a big influence because when it comes to make big decisions – where to go, where to work, when to change – on this kind of thing they have a big influence on me.'
