A man who reportedly
tried to break into Jose Mourinho's house in central London has been sentenced
to four weeks in jail for attempted burglary.
Gabor Roman, 25, was
caught as he tried to enter through the basement of the property on July 10
while the new Manchester United manager was inside watching Portugal win the
European Championships, it was reported.
A maid spotted the
burglar and screamed “What are you doing here?”, The Sun reported.
Roman tried to flee
but was stopped by a security guard, who had seen him looking for entry points
at various addresses along the street, the newspaper reported.
Police arrived on
the scene and arrested Roman, who was led away while Mourinho and wife Matilde
Faria watched from a window, according to a witness.
"Jose looked
dumbfounded," the passer-by said. "I don’t think it had registered
with the guy (the burglar) he was trying to burgle the house of the world’s
most famous football coach."
Roman, of no fixed
address, was jailed for four weeks by Westminster magistrates on Tuesday after
admitting attempted burglary.
A source said: “The
prowler was trying not to be obvious but he clearly did not fit in with such an
upscale area. The guard saw him trying all the house doors, leaning against
them with his shoulder.
“He followed him on
the opposite side of the road, using the cars for cover. The first open door
the guy found was Jose’s basement gate.
"It was perfect
timing when the Portuguese maid screamed, ‘What are you doing here?’ - because
at that moment the security man blocked the getaway."
