Italian TV Show Pulls Brilliant Antonio Conte Prank On Jose Mourinho

Italian TV Show Pulls Brilliant Antonio Conte Prank On Jose Mourinho

At least the Manchester United manager found it funny.

Jose Mourinho doesn't always come across as a man who likes to laugh and recently with his verbal exchanges with Antonio Conte he's come across as a man whose blood would boil at the thought of his rival but he can take a good joke, even about the Italian.

Former Chelsea boss Mourinho recently referred to some of his managerial colleagues being 'clowns on the touchline' which led current Chelsea manager Conte to believe he was being talked about and hit back saying Mourinho had senile dementia, although he may have meant amnesia.

Check out these classic Jose quotes:

The Portuguese man then hit back by taking a dig at the former Juve boss over match fixing and Conte once again hit back calling his rival a 'little man' as it all looked to be heading to a big fight promoted by Eddie Hearn.

Even though things have eventually cooled between the pair of feisty Premier League managers they certainly won't be sending each other birthday whatsapps this year.

And, as per the Mirror, two people from an Italian tv show took great advantage of their squabbles getting Mourinho to sign a Manchester United shirt outside of the Lowry hotel, where he lives, only to reveal it as having Conte's name printed on it:

Mourinho and Conte tried to land some verbal two footers on each other, check this compilation out, they probably hurt a bit more:

United and Chelsea are close together in the Premier League with the Red Devils three points clear of the Blues in second place as they, along with Liverpool, Spurs and arguably Arsenal, battle for the top four.

Mourinho can certainly laugh right now but if his rival gets the better of him in the league table then it might well turn to a scowl!
