Chelsea Champions League winner hits out at 'hostile and disrespectful' former Premier League boss - and reveals he refused to speak to him in a 'Mexican standoff'

Former Chelsea star Ryan Betrand has opened up on a Premier League manager he locked horns with, which resulted in a 'Mexican standoff' and the pair not speaking.

A true Premier League journeyman, Bertrand was contracted at Chelsea between 2006 and 2015 but spent just two full seasons with the Blues, enduring loan periods in each of the other seven.

Eventually, the left back settled at Southampton in 2015, where he went on to make more appearances than he did for his seven previous clubs combined.

But it was during his fifth season with the Saints where Bertrand, aged 29 at the time, became unsettled.
