Former Manchester United and Everton defender Phil Neville has blasted Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho for skipping hand-shake with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger after the London derby.
Chelsea won the game 2-0 with Diego Costa and Eden Hazard scoring a goal each. The match was more electrifying on the sidelines than on the pitch. Wenger and Mourinho had bust-up after the Frenchman entered Chelsea boss’ technical area and ended up shoving him. After the final whistle, Jose avoided shaking hands with Wenger and went straight ahead to the tunnel without even a glance at Arsenal bench.
Mourinho said after the game,
“But the technical area is very clear – I have mine, he has his and he cannot come to mine, especially to put pressure on the referee to give a red card to my player.
“So I just told him ‘leave my technical area and don’t come back please’.”
Phil Neville slammed the Portuguese manager for his unprofessional behavior. He tweeted,
I love mourinho but at the end of the game regardless of result shake hands with your opposite manager!!!
