Antonio Conte has hit back at Jose Mourinho, branding the Manchester
United manager a “little man” as the war of words between the pair
continues to escalate.
Jose Mourinho has clashed with Antonio Conte in the past and
seemingly reignited the feud when he appeared to label Conte a “clown”
for his actions on the touchline.
Conte responded by suggesting that Mourinho might have “senile
dementia”, leading Mourinho to reference a match-fixing accusation which
Conte was eventually cleared of during his time in charge of Serie B side Siena eight years ago.
The Italian believes that Mourinho’s comments prove that he is a
“little man”, and insists that he is looking forward to settling their
differences when Chelsea and United next meet.
“I think it’s difficult to answer this type of comment because when a
person, their target is to offend and insult another person, [it means]
you’re a little man,” Conte told reporters.
“We all know him very well. But it’s always the same. This is his
way. It’s not a surprise for him. I think he’s a little man. Life goes
on. I’m not worried about him. There is a good opportunity when we play
against Manchester United for me and him to clarify [the issues] in a
room.
“When you tell something, you must take the responsibility. If you
try to speak and then keep the situation general you must have a big
personality, big balls, to tell this.”
