Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has struck another blow in his war of words with Jose Mourinho, claiming the Manchester United boss is suffering a bit of amnesia .
The Premier League rivals have been involved in a war of words after Mourinho s comments that he preferred to act more mature on the touchline were perceived as a dig at the Chelsea coach.
Mourinho intensified the spat following Manchester United s 2-0 win over Derby County on Friday, referring to Conte s ban over match-fixing allegations for which he was later acquitted.
I consider him a little man, I consider him a man with a very low profile, Conte said of Mourinho after his side s goalless FA Cup draw with Norwich City. There is a story to speak for him and me.
You can change the story, but you have to know the story very well before hurting another person. In the last period, he s suffering a bit of amnesia.
The 48-year-old Italian went further, questioning Mourinho s show of solidarity to Claudio Ranieri following the Italian s sacking by Leicester City in 2017, when he wore the initials CR on his shirt.
I remember for example, a stupid example with Ranieri, when he offended Ranieri for his English, Conte said. Then when Ranieri was sacked he put on a shirt for Ranieri.
You are a fake. I think you have good consideration for a person or not. It doesn t change your opinion to be more sympathetic or not.
If you want to fight a person, you try to kill the person, and then after two years you try to help this person, because maybe it s good for you, your profile.
