Ex-assistant of Antonio Conte claims his boss's rivalry with the ‘Special One’ was thumped out of proportion by the press.

These claims emerged amidst Jose Mourinho's employment as AS Roma manager. Both managers, never really appeared to be on good terms while they were in the premier league.

The Dawn of the ‘Special One'

Jose Mourinho is set to take over Giallorossi as the new AS Roma boss. Although he would commence duties at the start of next season, details of his contract have already been finalized.

Jose, would no doubt immediately want to state his claim in the Serie-A. With his level of achievements, he no doubt has his eyes on overthrowing Conte's Inter-Milan as Serie-A champions.

Antonio Conte and Mourinho's premier league highlights

While both managers coached English teams, they never really appeared to be on good terms. At that time, Conte managed Chelsea while Jose was Manchester United boss.

In a premier league game when both managers faced off, Chelsea got the win over United. However, Jose was not particularly pleased with how Conte celebrated his team's win.

In line with that, Conte's assistant then has come out to accuse the press of thumping things out of proportion.

The viewpoint of Conte's ex-assistant

Conte's assistant Alessio has come out to clear the air concerning the rivalry of both managers.

From his statement, Alessio attested to the fact that both managers had some misunderstanding.

However, his stand was that this rivalry was usually blown out of proportion.

Moving on, Alessio insisted that all was now in the past and that both managers largely respect each other.

Conclusion

Whether the misunderstanding of Jose and Conte is in the past or present, the fact remains that both managers always look to go ahead of each other.

Without a doubt, the attitude of both managers would light up the Serie-A. The fans are definitely in for a treat.
