Jose Mourinho takes dig at Rafa Benitez’s weight in incredible rant

Jose Mourinho has opened Pandora’s box again with former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez. Chelsea fans have never been on good terms with the Spaniard, despite him managing them for a brief period in the 2012/13 season. Now, Mourinho has made sure that that relationship will go further downhill.

The two of them were fierce rivals between 2004 and 2007 in the Premier League, facing each other in some extremely memorable and controversial encounters. They may now be managing in different leagues but the feistiness still remains.

Benitez has taken up the job as Real Madrid manager, a position Mourinho held for 3 years between 2010 and 2013.
