Fenerbahce coach, Jose Mourinho has debunked reports circulating in the media that he wanted Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City to be relegated from the Premier League.
Manchester City who have won
the Premier League four-time-in-a row are facing the possibility of serious
fines and points deductions for repeated financial breaches over a period of
more than a decade.
But, Mourinho, in a chat with
Turkish outlet Fanatik, stated that he has a good relationship with Guardiola
and he hopes justice will prevail at the end.
“I want to win, but I want to win cleanly and
fairly. If I can’t win cleanly, I’d rather lose. He won six trophies and I won
three, but I won fairly and cleanly. I don’t want to win by dealing with 115
cases.”
“Pep and I worked together for
three years, we know we love each other,” added Fenerbahce coach Mourinho, per
Turkish outlet Fanatik.
“It is not true that I want
them to be relegated, what is true is that I want justice. Small teams can
sometimes be penalised by FFP when they exceed their limits by 5-10 euros.
“I also suffered due to the
limits when I was at Roma. I don’t think this is fair. We love each other, he
knows it. Words are one thing, feelings are another. All I want is justice, but
we have no ill feelings towards each other.”
