Jose Mourinho Escalates Feud With Antonio Conte With Match-fixing Jibe' by phenom101(m): 5:10pm On Jan 06, 2018 |
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho
has continued his feud with Chelsea boss
Antonio Conte by saying he will never be
"suspended for match-fixing".
Conte received a four-month suspension
while at Juventus in the 2012-13 season for
failing to report match-fixing at his previous
club Siena.
In 2016, the Italian was cleared by a court of
any wrongdoing in the matter.
Mourinho's comments came after Conte had
accused the Portuguese of forgetting his
own antics in the past.
Conte had reacted angrily this week to
Mourinho's assertion that he did not need
to act like a "clown" in his technical area,
saying: "I think he has to see himself in the
past - maybe he was speaking about himself
in the past."
Speaking after his side's 2-0 FA Cup third-
round win over Derby on Friday, Mourinho
said the "clown" comments were not
directed at Conte.
But he added: "The only thing I want to say
to end the story is that yes, I made mistakes
in the past on the touchline. Yes, I will make
less but I think I will still make a few.
"What never happened to me - and will
never happen - is to be suspended for
match-fixing. That never happened to me
and will never happen."
Mourinho was then told by a journalist that
Conte had been charged by football
authorities in the past with failing to report
match-fixing.
"Did he? Not me," the United boss replied |
