Chelsea have told Jody Morris to tone down his social media activity after the assistant manager mocked the club's former manager Jose Mourinho on Instagram this week, prompting an angry reaction from fans.

Morris was responding to comments made by Mourinho on Sky Sports last weekend, when the Portuguese coach said he was worried about Chelsea's leaky defence.

Morris quoted a tweet of the video, adding: 'Jose is still worried', followed by three laughing emojis.

He then posted a video on Instagram in which he was pretending to cry while Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve played in the background.

Chelsea feel such activity is unbecoming and inappropriate for a senior member of their coaching team.

While they have no plans to ban him from social media, they have asked Morris to show more restraint.
