Shakhtar Donetsk advanced to the knockout stage of the Champions League Wednesday, finishing second in Group F. They were sandwiched by Manchester City and Napoli. As such, Fonseca showed up to his post-game press conference dressed up as fictional swashbuckler Zorro.
As one does.

Fonseca promised his team he would dress up for the press conference if they won, and they won, so he dressed up. I would like to see more of this, honestly.
Oh yes, there is video.
This is the moment Shakhtar Donetsk coach Paulo Fonseca fulfilled a promise to hold a press conference wearing a Zorro mask if his team reached the Champions League last 16. Just think, this man could have been Everton manager #MCFC #EFC pic.twitter.com/z85pGcNGrl

Bless this man. If Shakhtar advance to the quarterfinals, he should carve a "Z" into the wall with a sword. Actually, he should do that anyway.
