Which football managers have appeared in music videos?

“José Mourinho’s cameo alongide Stormzy made me wonder: which other managers have appeared in music videos?” asks Katie Wright.

Mourinho, who is emphatically living his best life these days, appears alongside Stormzy in the promo for Mel Made Me Do It. The pair are both seen putting their fingers to their lips as Mourinho’s famous quote – “I prefer really not to speak. If I speak I’m in big trouble” – is sampled during the track.

It’s not the first time a former Manchester United manager has appeared in a Stormzy video. Well, sort of. A David Moyes facemask played a key role in the video for Know Me From in 2015, a song which includes the lyrics: “I come to your team and I fuck shit up/I’m David Moyes.”

As for actual, real-life, consensual appearances, let’s start with another Chelsea manager of the modern era: in 2017, Antonio Conte celebrated winning the Premier League in his first season in England by briefly appearing in the video for Smoking Fine by grime MC Eyez.

While Conte had a cameo role, the former Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and England manager Stuart Pearce was the (slightly menacing) star of the show when his beloved Stranglers made their video for This Song.
