Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho and his Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte are presently at daggers drawn.
The bone of contention is who believes worse on the touchline.
Mourinho told the press that they were making him seem like he had lost interest in football because he didn’t act like a “clown on the touchline”, in what appeared a jibe at Conte or Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp.
But Conte hit back, accusing Mourinho of forgetting his past behaviour on the touchline as a younger manager.
Conte said, “I think that he has to see himself in the past, maybe he was speaking about himself in the past.
“Maybe sometimes, I think that someone forgets what they said in the past or his behaviour and sometimes I think there is, I don’t know the same, senile dementia.”
However, Mourinho has hit back at the “senile dementia” comment, calling Conte a cheat for his ban for match fixing while a manager with Juventus.
“I don’t need the Chelsea manager to say I made mistakes in past and will in future. What I will say is I will never be banned for match fixing,” he said.
