No need to call Mourinho, says Conte

LONDON: Jose Mourinho won’t be receiving a phone call from his Chelsea opposite number Antonio Conte to placate him about his behavior in last Sunday’s 4-0 hammering of Manchester United.

Mourinho showed his displeasure at the emotional antics of Conte — which included him urging the Chelsea fans to cheer louder — by having words with him at the final whistle.

Italian media reported former Chelsea manager Mourinho claiming “it’s humiliating”.

Conte, who took over after guiding Italy to a penalty shootout quarter-final defeat by Germany at Euro 2016, replied firmly when asked if he had spoken to Mourinho since.
