Jose Mourinho may not have been impressed by his medical staff at the start of the season, but the Chelsea boss can, at least, rest assured that he is not managing in the Greek second division.

Following a game between Larisa and Ergotelis at the weekend, hilarious footage has emerged featuring a pair of clearly untrained stewards attempting to take off a supposedly injured player on a stretcher.

Ergotelis midfielder Leonardo Koutris was manhandled on to a stretcher before being rushed off by a burly pair of men with absolutely no respect for health and safety procedures.

The stewards seemed to think that Koutris was not injured and simply attempting to waste time with his side leading - although their own efforts to remove the player as quickly as possible soon became an online laughing stock.

In their haste, Koutris is dropped not once but twice as one of the stewards trips over his own feet before unceremoniously dumping the player on the sidelines - with the stretcher practically falling apart.

Despite the failed attempts of care from their stewards, Larissa actually went on to win the game 2-1 with two late goals scored in the 87th and 90th minutes.
