Mourinho lacks respect for other managers: Wenger

English football club Arsenal’s manager Arsene Wenger has said his Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho lacks respect for fellow managers.

Arsenal fans had kept on chanting “boring Chelsea” during their last weekend’s 0-0 stalemate at the Emirates Stadium. Mourinho had hit back saying the Gunners’ 11-year trophy drought was “boring”, reports BBC .

“The biggest thing for a manager is to respect other managers. Some people have to improve on that,” said Wenger.

In February 2014, Mourinho had called his opposite number a “specialist in failure”, and then in October the Arsenal manager shoved his rival during a heated touchline argument.

“You can have incidents with other managers sometimes. It gets a bit heated when you fight directly with them but in the end, I believe time heals and the important thing is to respect each other as much as you can,” added Wenger.
