Former Real Madrid director Jorge Valdano has slammed Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho over his time in Spain.
Mourinho and Valdano shared an explosive relationship during ‘the special one’s’ reign as Madrid boss, and Valdano has not held back, hitting out at the boss in his latest book, The Eleven Powers Of The Leader.
“I’ve never heard in public or in private a football statement from Mourinho worthy to be remembered,” Valdano wrote, as quoted by Marca.
“He is a character tailored to these noisy and empty times.”
“I couldn’t understand him because he is in the antipodes of my sensitivity. Intelligence and ego are enemies. And when they collide, the ego wins.”
And he thinks Mourinho’s achievements pale in comparison to that of Guardiola.”
“If Guardiola is Mozart, Mourinho is [Italian composer Antonio] Salieri. He would be a great musician if there were no Mozart,” he added.
