She should take care of her husbands diet! Mourinho responds to jibe from Benitezs w

The feud between Jose Mourinho and once fierce managerial rival Rafa Benitez intensified on Wednesday, as the Chelsea boss responded to a jibe from the Spaniard’s wife by attacking his weight, as well as his reign at Inter Milan.

Benitez’s wife, Montserrat Seara, teased Mourinho by saying Benitez “tidies up his messes”, having coached at three of the Portuguese’s former clubs - Inter, Milan and now Real Madrid.

“Real are the third of Jose Mourinho’s old teams Rafa has coached,” she quipped.

“We tidy up his messes! If you think about it, of course you end up crossing paths. There are only a few world-class clubs out there.”

But Mourinho was not amused by the jibes and promptly issued a scathing attack on the pair, saying Benitez “destroyed Inter Milan in four months.”

When asked about Seara’s comments in his post-match press conference following Chelsea’s pre-season victory over Barcelona, Mourinho said: “The lady is a bit confused, with all respect.

“I’m not laughing, because her husband went to Chelsea to replace Roberto Di Matteo and he went to Real Madrid and replaced Carlo Ancelotti.

“The only club where her husband replaced me was at Inter Milan, where in six months he destroyed the best team in Europe at the time.

“And for her also to think about me and to speak about me, I think she needs to occupy her time, and if she takes care of her husband’s diet she will have less time to speak about me.”
