The Chilean says he is the polar opposite of the
Chelsea manager, who won the Premier League
title last season, but insists they are not "enemies"
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has
taken a swipe at rival boss Jose Mourinho, saying
the Chelsea coach takes credit for “everything”.
The Portuguese guided the Blues to Premier
League glory last season, finishing eight points
ahead of defending champions City in second
place.
But Pellegrini believes the manner in which the two
coaches celebrated their respective title wins
highlights key differences in their characters, with
the Chilean intimating that Mourinho took the
limelight away from his players.
“When he wins, Mourinho wants to take credit for
everything. I never do that,” Pellegrini told Chilean
newspaper El Mercurio . “When I won the Premier
League, I didn’t say a word."
The two managers have endured a fractious
relationship ever since Mourinho replaced
Pellegrini at Real Madrid, though the City boss
insists he does not hold a grudge against his
Chelsea counterpart.
“I don’t have any problem with Mourinho,” he
continued. “He’s not my enemy and there isn’t
any conflict - but I differ from him on all fronts. I
have no interest in analysing him as a person.”
