Jose Mourinho calls Jurgen Klopp and Antonio Conte clowns

Jose Mourinho has aimed a new dig at Antonio Conte and Jurgen Klopp after claiming that the pair behave like ‘clowns’ on the touchline.

Both Conte and Klopp are well known for being animated in the dugout, while Mourinho even clashed with the Chelsea manager at Stamford Bridge last season.

During his press conference on Thursday, Mourinho hit back at reports claiming that United fear he could resign at the end of the season.

And when asked if he still had the hunger to win trophies, Mourinho replied: "Because I don’t behave as a clown on the touchline, it means that I’ve lost my passion?

"I prefer to behave the way I’m doing it. Much more mature, better for my team, better for myself."
