I’m better than Mourinho —Conte

Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte has rated himself better than Jose Mourinho.

Chelsea’s Conte on Monday night beat Manchester United 1-0 in an English FA Cup quarter final tie but the Italian trainer said the result has nothing to do with his analysis.

‘In Italy, we love comparisons. I have lost count of times when I was asked: ‘Tonio, can you do as well as Ales (Del Piero), don’t you think Juve shirt is too big for you,’’ the Chelsea coach told Statto.

‘Yes and yes, Jose is a top class, we have so many others like Pep Guardiola, Diego Simeone, Mauricio Pochettino but that is not to say we know it all. In England now, I am better than Jose but ask me this question next season, I may not be able to give you the same answer’

Conte also countered report that he takes after his former boss Arrigo Sacchi in touchline antics.

‘First I don’t have the voice of Arrigo. When he yelled, the whole stadium thundered. With Arrigo, you mus run away after losing a game. You only stood in front of him when things calmed down. I am not like that. My players don’t fear me’’
