Jose Mourinho has revealed what he whispered to Pep Guardiola when he beat him with Inter Milan in 2010
Former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho has revealed what he whispered to Pep Guardiola when he played him with the Nerrazurri in the Champions League in 2010. The duo played a Champions League classic that saw the Portuguese tactician best the Catalan.
Speaking to Gazetta Dello Sport, Mourinho said:
"When Sergio Busquets fell almost knocked out, I was diagonally between our bench, his [Guardiola's] and the place where Motta was sent off. 'Out of the corner of my eye I saw the Barcelona bench celebrating it as if Guardiola had already won calling Ibrahimovic to give instructions."
The Portuguese manager then walked up to Pep and whispered:
"Don't throw the party, the game is not over."
Jose Mourinho went on to win the match tie on aggregate and eventually the whole Champions League tournament. He would go on to have stints at Real Madrid, Chelsea again, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, AS Roma and now Fenerbahce. He will hope he can rediscover his magic touch in the ancient city of Istanbul.
