#7 “Specialist in failure”
If Barcelona were his main rivals when he was in Spain, Arsene Wenger was his number one target when he was in England. During his first spell with Chelsea, he branded Wenger a “voyeur”, and he took things to the next level during his second spell with the club, when before their match in 2014, he called Wenger a “specialist in failure”. Chelsea won the game 6-0, equalling the biggest defeat the Frenchman suffered in his time in charge of the North London club.
Things got physical the next season and during a confrontation between the pair, Wenger shoved Mourinho, something that the Portuguese manager didn’t seem pleased with in his post-match interview, saying he didn’t understand why Wenger did it. He had the last laugh though, as his side ran out 2-0 winners, and went on to win the Premier League title.
