Arsene Wenger has hit back at Jose Mourinho’s recent taunts by suggesting the Chelsea boss lacks respect for his fellow managers.
The Portuguese, set to win the Premier League this weekend, ridiculed Arsenal’s defeat to Monaco in the build-up to their clash at the Emirates Stadium, before mocking their decade-long wait for the title after Sunday’s 0-0 draw.
While Wenger did not rise to Mourinho’s bait, he was keen to stress the importance of respect among the managers – something the Chelsea boss could “improve” on.
“The biggest thing of managers is to respect each other and some people have to improve on that,” said Wenger when asked about the taunts. “Everybody lives with his own internal problems and I live with mine and that is enough.”
Wenger believes his side have improved this season and are much closer to challenging for the title next term.
