Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has claimed that Jose Mourinho is one of the people who want the Premier League champions to be relegated.
He was responding to Mourinho’s barbed comments that he won three titles “fairly and cleanly”.
Guardiola was compared to the ex-Chelsea and Manchester United manager after he raised six fingers to the Liverpool fans, following his side’s recent 2-0 defeat against the Reds, indicating the number of league titles he has won to date.
Mourinho had similarly held up three fingers to opposing fans while he was United boss, before being fired in December 2018 following a loss to Liverpool.
“Guardiola said something about me… he won six trophies and I won three, but I won fairly and cleanly.
“If I lost, I want to congratulate my opponent because he was better than me. I don’t want to win by dealing with 150 court cases,” Mourinho said.
Mourinho was making reference to City’s 115 charges over alleged violations of the Premier League’s financial rules.
Guardiola, in response, said: “He’s another one in a huge list that wants the team to be in… I don’t know, in League One or in the Conference.
“I would say to Jose the same – we are innocent until proven guilty and, after that, we will see what happens. It is what it is.”
