Newly appointed Man United coach Jose always knows how to play mind games in getting his opposition manager quaking or reacting badly. Regular victim of such has been Premier League bitter rivals Arsene Wenger, who he talks down as been professional in failure last two season. And both have been known for been trading words regarding their teams and players.
It's all seems a turning table to newly appointed Chelsea boss Antonio Conte. Jose Mourinho who won League Champions Leicester City last week in the FA Community Shield last Sunday, his first trophy as Man United manager was estatic and full of praise for his players. Rather then dedicating the trophy to the hospitable supporting fans, he instead choose to dedicate it to his former club who got him sacked last season for a dismal start to the season which saw him lost 9 games out of 16.
Jose was quoted after the match by saying; "I want to dedicate this trophy to all Chelsea fans and players who triggered my exit and made me what I am today, the coach of the most decorated team in England. Coaching small teams like Chelsea is stressful sometimes".
With this statement no doubt, he is already warming and testing the wrath of the fist of Antonio Conte who is so down to earth against all odds at winning. The Italian was is called by his Italian players nicknamed "The Godfather", has kept his nerves cool and has chose rather to focus on work rather than engaging in time wasting and non productive rows.
Jose Mourinho alraedy knows too well undoubtedly who he will be coming up against in this year most anticipated Premiership season in recent times. A coach of high moral standard, a coach who breath and life to win, a coach with the ability to unite and integrate the dressing room, a coach meticulously dedicated to his work, 5 hours of sleep, 3 hours for family and 16 hours for work.
