(Man United)

The one certainty in football is that if an opposing manager makes a less than complimentary comment about Jose Mourinho, he will respond with the ferocity of a velociraptor trapped inside a minivan. So when Antonio Conte referred to Chelsea’s disastrous follow-up to their 2015 title as “the Mourinho season” and something he’s looking to avoid, it wasn’t a matter of if Mourinho would fire back, but how viciously.

Mourinho’s response?

“I could answer in many different ways but I am not going to lose my hair to speak about Antonio’s comments.”
