Manchester United‘s manager sparked an angry reaction from Conte after claiming that he does not have to behave like a ‘clown‘ on the touchline to prove he still has passion for the job.
Conte also called Mourinho a ‘little man’ and ‘senile’ after the Portuguese made a passing reference to his previous suspension for match-fixing.
The Italian was suspended for four months after failing to report match-fixing during his time at Siena, but was later cleared of any wrongdoing in 2016.
Asked whether he regrets his recent comments about Mourinho, Conte replied: ‘I have the look of a person that regrets? I don’t think so.’
The ex-Juventus manager admits he ‘won’t forget’ Mourinho’s harsh words.
He added: ‘We’ve both said things. We will see in the future.’
‘I think it’s not important. I think he used serious words and I won’t forget this.
‘It’s not a problem for the club – it’s a problem between me and him.’
