Jose Mourinho has thrown a thinly veiled barb at Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte, saying “Inter look really amazing. They have almost two teams.”

The two former Chelsea managers were at each other’s throats when Conte was at Stamford Bridge and Mourinho at Manchester United.

They both seized every opportunity to haul abusive words at each other, with the two of them almost fighting on a particular match-day between their teams at Old Trafford. It was a match official that thwarted a physical confrontation on the touchline.

Now, Inter Milan and Tottenham have been reportedly locked in talks for Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen for a number of days, with reports of the Nerazzurri first making an offer of €10m, then raising it to €15m to fend off competition.

However, during his press conference yesterday ahead of Spurs’ game against Watford, Mourinho made jibes against Conte, whom he had several clashes with whilst the latter coached in the Premier League with Chelsea, report Football Italia.

“Inter looks really amazing. They have almost two teams,” said Mourinho.

“So maybe one to try to win Scudetto and one to try to win Europa League but in this moment it’s fantastic.”

Conte has bemoaned a lack of players all season, and Inter have signed Ashley Young from Manchester United, with personal terms also agreed for Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud.

Mourinho was then asked about his current relationship with Inter, but he says the current iteration of the club is no longer his.

“That’s not my Inter. My Inter was Moratti’s Inter. This is not my Inter. I have no connections with the people so I think it’s nothing to do with that,” said Mourinho.

“Nothing can change my feeling with Inter, it’s not a situation with a player that is going to change my feeling with the club and the fans. No chance.”
