Classic Mourinho Mocks Benitez

Classic Mourinho Mocks Benitez

Jose Mourinho has delivered a classic response to new Real Madrid manager Rafael Benitez’s wife, telling her to focus on controlling her husband’s diet.

Mourinho, clearly not happy with a claim made by Benitez’s wife that the Spaniard has come into Madrid to ‘tidy up Mourinho’s mess’. Benitez’s wife, Montse, also insisted that her husband’s Inter Milan side was wrecked by Mourinho.

However, the Chelsea manager isn’t one to take any prisoners, and hit back with a typical Mourinho classic, in a fashion that only the Portuguese could do.

“The lady is a bit confused, with all respect. I’m not laughing. She is confused because her husband went to Chelsea to replace Roberto Di Matteo and he went to Real Madrid and replaced Carlo Ancelotti.” he said.

“The only club where her husband replaced me was at Inter Milan, where in six months he destroyed the best team in Europe at the time.”

Both Benitez and Mourinho have coached at Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid – but their successes have massively differed.

“And for her also to think about me and to speak about me, I think the lady needs to occupy her time and if she takes care of her husband’s diet she will have less time to speak about me.”

Mrs Benitez had said earlier: “Real Madrid are the third of Jose Mourinho’s old teams Rafa has coached.

“We tidy up his messes. If you think about it, of course you end up crossing paths. There are only a few world-class clubs out there.”
