If there is one fact that most people can bet on as far as the British Premier League for this season is concerned, that would be the fact that Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte will be anything but friends.

Apart from the explosive games between the teams they manage, their personal verbal attacks against each other is surely in no way less exciting. This has continued unabated for sometime now.

The latest in the series took place on Friday when Mourinho delved into Conte’s past history and got personal. A reporter started the fire as he dangled Conte’s comment that Mourinho was “senile” as bait, and the Manchester United boss of course didn’t hold back.



In reply to that comment, Jose Mourinho was quoted as saying: “What never happened to me, and what will never happen to me, is to be suspended for match-fixing,”.

He was of course talking about a four-month ban levied against Conte while the Italian was managing Juventus in 2012. It stemmed from alleged match-fixing involving Conte’s former club, Siena, while he was in charge.

Conte had originally been charged with the actual match fixing. Those charges were dismissed, but he was still punished for failing to report the fix. He was initially hit with a 10-month suspension, but had it reduced to four months on appeal.

Conte has always firmly denied the accusations, and was finally acquitted of any wrong-doing by an Italian court in 2016 – two months before he arrived at Chelsea. So when those two words flew out of Mourinho’s mouth, there was no way he could let them pass without a response.

Less than 24 hours later, Conte fired his own salvo. And this is what he had to say:

“When the target is to offend, to insult another person, you are a little man,” Conte said after a 0-0 FA Cup draw with Norwich. “We all know him very well. He’s always the same.

“This is his way. This is not a surprise for me. When you insult, offend another person, it means you’re a little man. He’s a little man.”
