Mourinho has launched a stinging attack on Real Madrid manager Rafael
Benitez after the Spaniard’s wife teased the Chelsea boss by saying her
husband always had to tidy up messes left by the Portuguese.
Montserrat Seara triggered the attack after Spanish newspaper La Region
published her light-hearted remark following Benitez’s appointment at
the Bernabeu last month, the third time he has joined a club previously
managed by his rival.
Mourinho was clearly not amused and
speaking to reporters after Chelsea beat European champions Barcelona on
penalties in a Washington friendly, he delivered a withering
straight-faced response.
“The lady is a bit confused,” he said after the match that ended in a 2-2 draw. “I am not laughing…
“Her husband went to Chelsea to replace Roberto Di Matteo and he went to Real Madrid and replaced Carlo Ancelotti.
“The only club where her husband
replaced me was at Inter Milan where, in six months, he destroyed the
best team in Europe at the time.
“For her also to think about me, and to speak about me, I think she needs to occupy her time.
“And if she takes care of her husband’s diet, she will have less time to speak about me.”
Benitez was hired by Inter Milan in 2010
after Mourinho had led an aging team to a European and domestic treble
before leaving for Real Madrid.
