Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has
launched a barb at Claudio Ranieri ahead of the Community Shield by declaring
he would not swap careers with his
Leicester City counterpart.
“I have my
career, he has his career,” Mourinho said, in comments published by several
British newspapers on Sunday.
“Ask him if he would change his career with
mine. I would not change mine with his — but it (winning the Premier League)
was an unbelievable achievement.”
FA Cup holders United and Premier League
champions Leicester are due to meet in the Community Shield, the traditional
curtain-raiser to the English season, later on Sunday.
Mourinho, 53, and
Ranieri, 64, previously clashed during their time in Italy, when the former was
in charge of Inter Milan and the latter coached Juventus and Roma.
Ranieri’s
5,000-1 triumph with Leicester last season gave him the first top-flight title
of his career. He has also won the Coppa Italia with Fiorentina and the Copa
del Rey with Valencia.
Mourinho, sacked by Chelsea last season, has won eight
league titles in four different countries and is a two-time Champions League
winner.
