"Jose Mourinho talks too much," says Napoli manager Rafa Benitez

In an interview for Napoli’s official website, manager Rafael Benitez has criticised Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho who had previously succeeded Benitez at the Stamford Bridge last.

“Mourinho talks a lot about a lot of people, but I prefer to talk about the facts,” Benitez told the website. “At Liverpool we knocked his Chelsea side out of the Champions League with a team that cost half as much as his.”

“He coached a very strong and expensive Real Madrid side and he left without winning the Champions League. In three years he did nothing in Europe,” Benitez added while referring to Mourinho’s stint at Madrid.

“Maybe if Mourinho sells Hazard and Oscar for €360m to build another team, he might win something,” he concluded.

Benitez’s feud with Jose Mourinho is something that is not new, with the two even refusing to shake hands during the 2006 season.
