JOSE MOURINHO says he has nothing but contempt for Antonio Conte after their verbal spat.
Mourinho was labelled a ‘senile’ and ‘a little man’ by Chelsea boss Conte.
Mourinho assertion that he would never be ‘suspended for match fixing’ relating to Conte’s time at Siena in Italy, hit a nerve too.
And today Mourinho said: “I think when a person insults another you can expect a response, or you can expect contempt.
“The first time he insulted me I had a response, a response that I know that touched the point where he really feels hurt.
“Then he insulted me for a second time but now I change and now contempt and for me contempt means end of the story.”
Conte had received a four-month suspension while manager at Juventus in the 2012-13 season for failing to report match-fixing at his previous club Siena.
He was, however, cleared in 2016 of any wrong doing.

Mourinho also took the time to describe Alexis Sanchez as a “phenomenal player.”
United have joined Man City in the hunt, with Sanchez out of contract next summer.
