adminLONDON. — Jose Mourinho aimed a foul-mouthed blast at Everton manager Roberto Martinez during a heated spat following Chelsea’s latest English Premier League defeat.
The Chelsea manager took his rival to task for being made to wait to fulfil his media duties after seeing his side endure their third reverse in just five league matches this term.
Martinez was conducting a newspaper briefing away from the main Press conference when Mourinho interrupted and vented his unhappiness at being delayed with Chelsea due to catch a flight back to London.
“Roberto, next time tell me go before you because we have to travel,” said a spikey Mourinho.
Martinez, who found himself at loggerheads with Mourinho during Chelsea’s ultimately forlorn pursuit of John Stones this summer, replied: “We don’t control that Jose, I don’t control that.”
To which Mourinho responded: “****ing hell.”
Mourinho then disappeared to conduct his Press conference with Martinez seeing his rival riled as a compliment to his own side’s performance.
“When he beat us 6-3 ([last season] he was such a nice man, I prefer him like that!” he added.
The duo had shaken hands at full-time but the rumpus came with Chelsea languishing just above the relegation zone with four points from five games and already trailing leaders Manchester City by 11 points.
They host Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Champions League tomorrow before Arsenal visit Stamford Bridge for a pivotal game.
Meanwhile, Mourinho has sent Twitter into meltdown after refusing to rule out managing Arsenal in the future.
Diehard Arsenal fan Piers Morgan quizzed the Portuguese tactician during the 2015 GQ Men of the Year awards at London’s Royal Opera House last Tuesday.
Mourinho, himself the winner of GQ’s Editor’s Special Award, was asked if he’d consider taking the hot-seat at Arsenal.
The Special One ambiguously explained to Morgan that he would continue living in London when his time at Stamford Bridge came to an end. — The Daily Express.
