Manchester United’s Coach, Jose Mourinho has threatened to break the face of Arsenal FC Football Coach Arsene Wenger over comments made on the transfer of Juan Mata, according to a new book.
The special one as he’s fondly called even offered to have a fight in the street should he set his eyes on Arsene Wenger.
The Arsenal boss and then-Chelsea manager’s raging feud almost boiled over completely because of the Spain star’s 2014 move.
The constant bickering between the two managers reached boiling point when Mourinho, who was in charge of Chelsea at the time, responded to Wenger’s ‘fear to fail’ jibe with a very public dressing down of the Arsenal boss.
‘You know, he is a specialist in failure. Eight years without a piece of silverware, that’s failure. If I do that at Chelsea I leave London and I don’t come back,’ Mourinho infamously said.
However, in a new and explosive book on Mourinho by journalist Rob Beasley which is being serialised by Sportsmail, the extent of their hatred has reached a whole new level:
‘I will find him one day outside a football pitch and I will break his face,’ Mourinho allegedly said in regards to Wenger.
The quotes from the now Manchester United boss may come as little surprise following his words after their display of fisticuffs on the Stamford Bridge pitch.
It was October 5, 2014 when Chelsea defeated Arsenal 2–0 but the game is best remembered for an angry pushing between the managers on the touchline rather than the goals from Eden Hazard and Diego Costa.
‘He [Wenger] was asking for a red card and pressing the ref in my technical area,’ Jose said of the incident. ‘I told him to go back to his area. He pushed me.
‘I told him, “Here you do that, you know I can’t react, but I will meet you one day in the street”.’
It was shortly after this incident the two teams faced each other once more and, in typical Mourinho fashion, he would have the last laugh.
In Wenger’s 1,000th game as a manager Chelsea humiliated the Frenchman with a stunning 6-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
