Begovic: Mourinho is better than Mourinho

Former Chelsea goalkeeper, Asmir Begovic has suggested that Jose Mourinho is better than Antonio Conte, who was brought in to tidy a club messed up by his predecessor,  Jose Mourinho.

Begovic said: "The way Mourinho thinks about the game, the way he works with players was incredible to see," said Begovic in an interview with the Metro.

"Obviously, he brought me to Chelsea so I'm grateful to him for that. I was lucky to play under many good managers but I would definitely put him on top of the pile. I learned a lot from him in the short space of time we worked together."


"Conte was good. He was very intense, very intense in his work, very driven in his structure and the way of playing," added the goalkeeper.

"I think that's what we needed after a year of turmoil. It was important to buy into the philosophy as a team and the structure. That's what we did."


While his comments could be seen a controversial by many football followers especially Chelsea fans. The fact that Begovic played under both manager makes his claim strong.
